Just Photos - by Laurie

Another busy few days as we try to fit in everything before our trip ends. Here are some photos (this silly blog program we're using is very picky about photos and plays tricks if I use big photos so you'll have to click these if you want to see them well).

In Harwich, England we learned that the Mayflower left from Harwich. "Plymouth was just where they got their last provisions," they said with a sniff.

Our last ferry voyage, Harwich to Esbjerg, Denmark. We skipped the buffet this time for complimentary wine in our room.


Charming thatched cottages on the island of Fanø. We never got to the nature area.
Also on Fanø--someone was knitting the bus stops, benches, and other public places.

Our hotel in Esberg had a replica from the Parthenon. We recognized it after seeing the original (?) at the British Museum. We're getting culture!


This old building is really sagging in the middle. Ribe, Denmark, is the oldest city in Scandinavia, dating from the 800s A.D.

Replica of a Viking boat in the Ribe Museum. 

Back to Copenagen and to the Danish National Museum to see the special Viking Exhibit and also this centaur's head. We saw his body at the British Museum. Putting the pieces together. 



Quest accomplished. We met Harry of Larry vs. Harry after hours of going in circles in Copenhagen. These awesome bikes are found everywhere in this city.


Our final dinner in Copenhagen at the same Ethiopean restaurant we had our first meal but this time with our new Copenhagen friend, Carol. Unfortunately, we were having such a fun visit we forgot to take any photos.
