We force ourselves to get up early so we can beat some of the heat and crowds while walking the wall of Dubrovnik. We head out to the less traveled Ploce Gate of the old town and our timing is good as we get to the wall entrance right at the opening time of 0800. […]

Hot Day in Dubrovnik
A quote comes to mind. ” It’s a hot one, like seven inches from the noon day sun” Santana song. We or should I say Carol, slept in which means until 0840. It is already plenty warm out. They are having an extreme heat wave here so it is supposed to be 97 today with […]
On the Move
We get up early and are surprised that the Hilton has pastries, cold cuts, rolls and coffee out at 0400. We eat a pastry, Carol grabs a coffee, and we make sandwiches for lunch with a few extra pastries thrown in our bag as well. No hassle security, and then at the C gates, we […]
Last Day in Denmark
This will be our last day in Copenhagen and our last one in Scandanavia. Tomorrow phase two of our trip will begin. We get up, shower, eat breakfast, and pack. We are staying at the airport tonight, so we check out and store our belongings in the basement storage lockers. Then, a short walk leads […]
Lots to See
Today will be a busy day. We packed our agenda and will see if we can fulfill it. As it is raining when we start, we take a train to the central station which is only a few blocks from city hall. The interior is underwhelming, especially compared to the ones we saw in Stockholm […]
A Friend Comes To Town
We are going to discover some of the Royal Danish history today. Our first stop is Frederiksborg Castle. With our Copenhagen Cards, we hop on the S Train to Hillerod and then catch a bus to the castle. The whole journey takes about 45 minutes. Built from 1602 to 1620, it was the castle of […]
Getting to Know Copenhagen
Today we get introduced to Copenhagen. Our plan is to visit the National Museum, do a self guided walk that I have printed, and then take a canal cruise later this evening. Breakfast is not included here so we are able to just get up and go. We did sleep in a bit as the […]
Name That Picasso
Today, you can be involved in the journal by playing Name that Picasso. First, a little bit about our day. We went to the bakery this morning to buy breakfast and lunch. We have what I am calling the Amoretto Danish. Amoretto because that is the prevailing flavor I taste, and Danish because hey, we […]
Bicycling in Denmark
We wake up this morning at different times. I wake up with the ringing of the 0700 church bells. Carol snoozes on. I was sleeping good and not hearing the church bells until sometime during the night, I was awoken by the sound of knocking on my door. Carol went to use the bathroom, which […]
Traveling to Aeroskobing
We wake up after a good nights sleep at 0730. The boat is scheduled to arrive at 0945, so we lounge around for a little while. They have an English Channel with what we surmise is England’s version of Cops. Their bad boys are quite a bit more polite than ours. It seems to focus […]
