Yesterday was just wet and gross in copenhagen,
But Amalienborg palace is just incredible. The crown prince and princess have it lucky! Its too bad though, they didnt let us photograph the place. Just the outside. 1.5 meters away from the guards please!
And a good Burger for me at Nyhavn, and EJ Had a good final meal in copenhagen with some Mussels mmm.. The flight back was pretty simple and despite the rain was quite smooth.
Sometimes the Danes can be incredibly helpful and friendly, sometimes not. Really? they didnt know where a restaurant was that was actually just an avenue down? But not to ruin the experience - Copenhagen is beautiful.
Work is work, as always i was excited to get back. Tomorrow I get to tour! Yay. I've got another show and tell this week and all this other stuff to do.
So off work, hungry and my phone wont get service. I wanted to take a small tour of Billund and show off the history of LEGO. I also got to show off a loss of sense of direction. We took a lovely detour around the back streets behind LEGO HQ. It was fun to get lost, but still kinda warm out for it, just a little too warm.
Our goal was Lalaland but since Hotel LEGOLand was on the way, we detoured in.
What a lovely hotel! They've got everything from excellently themed conference rooms to this MASSIVE hall that would be great for some event like a wedding or a corporate gathering. The attention to detail is excellent, from little Ollies to show the bathroom doors, to the color filled vases on the windows matching LEGO colors. And of course there's the giant dragon greeting you at the entrance and the parking lot; Darth vader greeting conference guests and scale minifigures to lead you to your rooms.
Dinner at the Adventure restaurant was preferable to buffet. They had a rather interesting selection including ostritch. I ordered Lamb, but even though they messed up my order it was an amazing dinner. Pleasantly well presented and a good wine to boot. Its still light out at 9:00 here (21:00). Dessert was just as well prepared.
The bar was quaint and we picked up two new beers for ourselves. FUR? But then the Bartender pulled out his guitar and played us a song! This was quite great and he even let me hang on to the guitar and play it myself. Not soon after the bar got pretty packed, must've been a monday conference or something. Its dark out, gotta get EJ to her flight early in the AM. It'll be a fun day tomorrow for sure.
Time is just ticking away. Its June already and just 15 days left to go. Live up every minute of it.
Pix on FB to come soon!
