Denmark

Here's pix of our trip to Denmark.. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: We are travelling like mad now coz its the best time to travel during spring-summer otherwise it will be too cold after Sept; plus we have to plan around public holidays since YQ is working. After June, the next PH is Xmas!



Here's our route..

Denmark is made up of 3 main islands. The pics of all the attractions that follow are according to the island location..

Yeah.. we went to:

Legoland rides are not as scary as those in Disneyland, but there are more things to see- what else but lego models, which were very fasinating! Makes u wonder how people can build such impressive replications!

Some of the more interesting rides!
We found out later that someone had been killed in an accident at the Xtreme Racer ride on the same day, was quite sad..

And of course legomodels all over Legoland..





Miniland is a huge place (need an afternoon to really view the entire place) of city replicates in the world. It was really cool, coz it was not just made up of lego bricks. The people, trains, cars, boats, bridges can move, and u can see activities going on in the replicate models.

What impressed us most, was the below. Remember Göta Canal, where there are water gates to allow ships to climb up and down slopes? They had a working example and u can see the water being released, gates opening, toy ship being lowered down etc.. amazing.

Compare the above Copenhagen to the real Copenhagen here

And the biggest surprise:

End of Legoland.

We also went to this huge outdoor playground near Legoland, which has a huge variety of activities for kids..



For some who might not know, Hans Christian Anderson is the author of well-known fairytales like Ugly Duckling, Thumbelina, Emperor's New Clothes etc..






Visited many tombs and graves on the island of Møn.

The first one was King Asger's Mould, but it was in the evening time when the sun was setting, and we did not dare to climb in alone. YQ was scared of snakes, I was scared of ghosts, haha.. As u can see, the dark entrance with the metal gate was intimidating enough..


Visited Klekkende Tomb the next morning, when the sun was bright and sunny. Then we dared to climb in alone.

And how could we miss the main attraction that we had come to Denmark for- Møns Clint. We had to trek in the cold and amidst alot of dung (not sure if cow dung or horse dung) for abt half hour before we reached the top of the cliffs..

Luckily, our efforts were rewarded by the sight..
A biggest landslide in history just occured in Jan this year, when the biggest part of the cliff collasped. If u see the piece of land jutting out in the above photo, its actually the collasped cliff itself, and u can still see the uprooted trees in a mess at the bottom.

As a result, the areas around were cordoned off and we were not allowed to climb down to the beach where we might have had a better view. Nevertheless the view above was magnificent enough!

The last part of the trip- a short little touring of another Sweden city:
