Veijle, Denmark (June 27)
Veijle was interesting in that it truly felt like we were in Denmark. We ordered off of Danish only menus and many people greeted me in Danish or would respond in Danish even when I talked in English! This is not the case at all in Copenhagen.
We took the speed train back from Vejle to Copenhagen and were all in good spirits by the time we returned. Our children stopped expelling various bodily fluids and Clark and I enjoyed plenty of caffeine and water. What more could you ask for! Our train ride led Soren and I to feel quite famished, so we picked up a quick snack at our favorite little grocery (been there twice, so favorite) in the train station and started eating on the steps out of desperation:
Then we walked around the city again, and we walked through the beautiful area around the Danish Jewish museum main library:
We then headed to Christiania, which was kind of disappointing. I think it was partly deterioration of the place over the past few decades and partly our own fatigue from the previous night and partly being grown boring professional adults with children which led us to kind of quickly walk through it- we probably missed parts of it. Who knows? Not us apparently.
We then returned to Pedja and Ditte’s home for the last night in Denmark. It was another long and trying night as Inga was teething and Meera was still sick, but they are just so totally adorable it is hard to be bitter or upset.
Cascais, Portugal (June 28)
We headed off to Portugal and had no trouble with the transportation as Pedja graciously dropped us off for our 4hr flight to Lisbon. And now we are in Portugal!! We are relaxing in Cascais Portugal as we write…
