Last day

Hello.

Today we went to Fur island as I said and we had a lovely time. We caught the ferry across and then we went to get a pancake but unfortunately because Easter/the tourist time is now over they were closed but the man there kindly gave us both a fossil that was aproximatly 50 million years old. Then we went to the Fur museum where we saw some really amazing fossils which inspired us to go fossil hunting again (whether they will come back home not damaged is another story!) where we found lots more fossils. Then we went to try and get something from a cafe but again that was shut. We then went to a beach for a little while where I went for a paddle in the freezing water and then buried my feet. Finally we went to the pub we like where me and Euan had a diet coke and Mum and Dad had a beer that were all made from the local brewery. It was very special for me because the last time we went there it was before Easter so I couldn't have a fizzy drink (because I gave them up for lent) so I could only have the orange juice from the local brewery. All in all we had yet another super day.

Now it is the time when I have to say that this is the last blog post. It has been lovely writing it again and I will hopefully be able to write it again on our next house exchange wherever that might be. I will not have time to write one tomorrow as I have got to get up at 6:30am to catch the flight. We have all had a lovely holliday and for me one of the best bits has been receiving your comments. Thank you ! :)

Yesterday - Clashing waves and a change of plan

Hello again! I am just going to do a blog post about yestereday as we got back quite late so I did not have enough time.

In my blog post before I said we were going to go to Denmarks largest city, well we had a change in plan. First of all I got it wrong because Copenhagen is the largest city and then we went to the fourth largest city however; because it was a bank holiday almost everything was shut including the cathedral and it was not as big as we thought. So then we decided to go to the very tip of Denmark/Jutland to where the waves from the North and Baltic sea clash. We have some really nice photos and the beach there was lovely and sandy. (I cannot get pictures on the blog as we have not brought the cables so I will show you them when I next see you.) Then we had, yes you guessed it, yet another ice-cream!!! Finally we had the long journey back home which included taking a short ferry. All together we had another nice day.

I will hopefully write another blog post later about what we are doing today (going to Fur island).

I love getting your comments so I will say thank you again. Neve :)

Beach

Just a quick one as I did one earlier.

Today we went to a beach as I said before (we cycled there). Me and Euan had a sand fight so we were very sandy and wet by the end. Then we dried off and got the clothes that were dry back on. Then we went for another short bike ride to a cafe where we had yet another ice cream. We have all had a lovely day and tomorrow we are going to Denmark's largest city.

Yesterday - Canoeing

Hello. I didn't do the blog yesterday so I thought I would tell you about it today as we had a great time.

First of all though Happy Easter! :) This morning me and Euan have had an Easter egg hunt and I have had some Diet Coke because I gave up fizzy drinks for lent. I almost managed to do it I just forgot one time. Whoops! :)

Yesterday we went canoeing. We had read about it in our guide book and what you were supposed to do is canoe to a mountain (or so we thought) and then canoe back. Unfortunately we could not find the mountain which was really only a hill but we still had a great time. Me and Mum went in a canoe together and Dad and Euan went in another. My favourite part was when we had to dock the canoes because it was quite hard but fun to try and work it out. We had about a 4 hour canoe trip all together but I think we would all agree that was quite enough. It was a lot harder going up-stream than down-stream so on the way back it took half the time. Me and Mum found it hard to steer and to not keep having rests and relaxing! In the end Mum spotted a big boat comming behind us so we decided to steer towards a tree but not go into it. But as you can probabally guess we ended up in the tree with green stuff on my clothes failing to steer out of it. I don't think the people that were on the boat thought we were experts!

Today we are going to cycle to a beach and just relax.

Thank you for your comments. Neve

Fur Island

Hello, I have luckily mannaged to fit in another blog post as I have a bit of spare time.

Today it has been the hottest day yet but I hear not as hot as at home! I have a nice tan and even a white mark where my watch was! We went to Fur Island today (where you have to catch a ferry to get to it from where we are) and took our bikes with us. We were trying to find a nice beach but we couldn't find it so we went back to have another goat finding it. However, I mannaged to get a puncture on the bike we were borowing so me and Dad had to walk back to a cafe whilst Mum and Euan cycled. It took us about 50 minutes but it was not bad as I thought and did not take as long because I mannaged to cycle the last bit. Me and Euan had a paddle in the sea after having another ice cream at the cafe. We then went to a nice pub on Fur and me and Euan had a good play in a park near by. We then caught the ferry back and went for a quick drink in a pub very near to us.

Thank you for your comments. Neve

P.S. I am now hireing a bike for the rest of the holliday from tourist information. We decided to keep the other bike with the lovely lady at tourist information and we will collect it at the end of the holliday when we return the hired bike.

Denmark

Hello,

I am going to start doing the blog whilst we are in Denmark but maybe not every night.

Today we went to a museum about the bunkers in the WWII in Denmark. It was very interesting and we even got to go in a bunker and see where they slept and how they survived. We also saw where the main big gun used to be. In the World War the Germans came into Denmark and together they made a "wall" to make sure they didn't get invaded. This "wall" started in Spain and went all across France, Denmark. This part of Denmark did not get invaded though.

We then went for a bit of a walk where we went in some bunkers which had not been preserved and had a look round. We even saw some German grafiti from the war!

Finally we went to a beach which was well known for wind surfing but there were not very many waves but some people were trying to surf. Then we had an ice cream which was a lovely way to end the day.

In Denmark it has been quite hot so we will hopefully be comming back with a tan. We are staying in a lovely house and we have been going to an island very near to us on a ferry that only takes about 5 minutes. We are having a lovely time and enjoying ourselves thouroughly.
