Danish locals call it the Devil's Island. It was a devil to get here! The first ferry from Germany was full, the waiting list was full. After 2 hours driving we had to drive another 2 to the other ferry- in the rain.
Ferry ran like clockwork, arrived at 430 and managed to get on to the 445. Amazing. We were all ushered on within 5 mins and the ferry left straight away. Beautiful smooth sailing- Trav thougt we were still in the dock half way to Denmark.
Realized we only had euros as we left the ferry- last night as we sat in a very cool restaurant eating we had our fingers crossed they would take euros (no luck had to credit card it:).
Funny really, because we do not know how much the wine, food cost in Aussie dollars- kronor make it look very expensive. Ordered the cheapest things just in case we had to work it off in the kitchen.
Visited the Lego store, the Harbour, and the palaces. For the changing of the guard you can follow the soldiers around the square. They have been on duty for 24 hours.
Off to Stockholm today for a few days- hopefully we can find some affordable Scandinavian design souvenirs- the small wooden bowl Rach found in an antique shop was 200 euros best price.
Most beautiful public toilets yet at the Harbour- free. Mosaics, brass fittings and a small office with a tv for the caretaker. Free!!
Pic- look cool.. how much is 100 kronor Trav?/ More Lego than you can poke a stick at/ let's follow the people with guns
