Robin and I are in Copenhagen at a B&B tonight and Bob & Marleen are back in California. During the last week we have been at a condo on the north coast. We rented a Peugeot 508 diesel 5-speed and we drove it 820 miles. The car got 46 mpg average for the entire trip. We were very pleased with that. Fuel costs about $8 per gallon, but with the fuel mileage about double of our car back home, the fuel cost about averages out to normal. The car held the 4 of us and luggage very well!!
The top picture was taken in Sweden just outside the ferry building. Yes, Bob survived the trip just fine. We went over to Sweden to shop and headed back in the afternoon. So, we went from Denmark to Sweden to eat at a restaurant owned by people from Turkey and they served us middle eastern food by an Indian waiter and Marleen ordered Italian pizza. Talk about Food Fusion!! Oh, yes, they had the traditional Ligonberry juice and salads on a buffet.
The bottom picture was taken outside the boyhood home of Hans Christian Anderson in Odensa, Denmark. We had a Danish buffet there at The Ugly Duckling. Some of the food we didn't recognize, while other stuff looked like what we might eat.
And we saw 2 palaces, although we did not tour inside. At one, we ate at a small cafe. I had a meatball sandwich with chili sauce. It wasn't anything like what you'd expect.
On Tuesday we get on the Norwegian Sun for a trip to Florida. We will meet Elaine on the ship with Connie. This will be our 3rd trip with them!! They fly into CPH very late on Monday night. I hope you all enjoy the updates.

On Wednesday were were just across the channel from Denmark. The crossing took about 20 minutes. The Danish town was Helsingor and the Swedish town was Helsingborg. Marleen left Denmark on Friday to go home and on Monday leaves for China. We will celebrate our 38th anniversary in Amsterdam on Thursday and then we will be in Belgium.
