Saturday morning, we headed west and stopped in Odense for a little lunch and the Flower Festival. Here we are enjoying sandwiches near the Odense monastery.
After lunch, we wandered around a bit and came across some sort of Italian sports car convention. Sweet, sweet red Alfa Romeos... mmm....
The past few weeks have been quite the Hans Christian Anderson tour for me. I saw his grave in Copenhagen; where he went to school as a young man in Helsingør; and now Odense - the city where he was born. The Odense Flower Festival included live performances of some of his more famous stories...
Two little Danish girls mesmerized by the Princess and the Pea...
The Little Mermaid waves to the crowd - yes, that's a giant flower swan behind her.
Thumbellina and a giant flower butterfly...
Anybody home?!?
Hans Christian Anderson's childhood home.
After lunch, we packed back into the car and headed off for Jutland, the Danish peninsula and the largest part of Denmark. Waiting for the concert to begin...
Pink Floyd, The Wall.
Is There Anybody Out There?
Children take the stage for We Don't Need No Education...
Another Brick In The Wall.
One of the performers had this AWESOME handlebar mustache. We tried to get a shot of it here, complete with crazy wig. An unbelievable show! So good!!
Søren's parents had planned to continue their trip around Jutland by bike; here Søren helps out by taking the bikes off the back of the car. From here we planned to take the car by ferry from Århus, the second largest city in Denmark, back to Copenhagen.
Before we left, we stopped at Den Gammle By, or The Old City in Århus. Den Gammle By is completely dedicated to old Denmark. Here they've moved and restored old buildings from throughout the country for visitors to see what a Danish city might have looked like hundreds of years ago.
Old fashioned swings.
Awesome thatched roof!!
Only a royal Danish flag has the split in it. This shop might have provided goods for the royal family at one time...
