Our holidays have started. We left home early Thursday morning and sailed across to the area of Denmark known as Jutland. The first stop of the day was at the camp that Leah was attending. She was missing us and just wasn´t feeling happy there, so we had arranged to pick her up after lunch on Thursday. 

Orginally we thought it was just Andrew coming away with us, now Leah was back again and with her came a huge suit case! We really didn´t think we would get everything into our wee car. It was ready to burst!! 

So after a bit of repacking of the car, we headed off to a town called Skanderborg. It was really beautiful, right on a lake. We were staying in a hostel that was also on the lake. It was the very same hostel Kristian stayed in when he went on a biking trip with his dad many, many years ago. It was really beautiful. The weather was NOT beautiful though, so we didn´t get to enjoy the nature as much as we would have, if it had been sunny and warm. (It was actually rather cold!)

We went out and found a chinese restaurant and had a lovely dinner there at a very cheap price!

By the time we got back to the hostel we were all ready for bed! It was only 8.20pm but we all climbed into bed and just shortly after 10pm I was fast asleep, I think the others were too!

This morning we woke up and went to the bakery and bought some bread and juice. We then headed down to the lake to enjoy our breakfast. It was lovely, just a bit cold. Where is summer?

Leah thought it was too cold to sit out, so she ate breakfast in the car. 

Two ducks came to visit and stayed as long as we had bread to feed them.

We then headed to "Himmelbjerget" one of the highest points in Denmark. There were beautiful views from this point. I need to download Kristian´s photos so you can see some of the views. (This will probably have to wait till we get home!)

 From Himmelbjerget we headed into one of the local towns, Silkeborg. I am in love with Silkeborg! It was such a lovely cosy town with loads of shops! We all had a hotdog for lunch! Except Andrew! He had a hotdog but was still hungry so he went and got himself a huge chicken and bacon sandwich. That boy eats like a horse! I think it would be cheaper to feed a horse!


From Silkeborg we headed to Viborg. Another beautiful town with loads of shops. Andrew got himself a couple pair of cheap shoes. We then headed out to the hostel. We are staying here tonight. (Hence the internet connection!) Tomorrow we head up to the ferry to take the boat across to the small Island. We will spend our  holiday week there in a lovely summer house. 


Meanwhile Sara is at home looking after my plants (hopefully) and the cat and working very hard to try and save some money!


I am not sure when we will have internet connection again. But whenever I do you can be sure I will be on here posting!
