Two artists/parents/grandparents/suburbanites who wanted to take time off to travel. We sold our house and decided to do just that. After all, the only thing holding you back, is fear and common sense.

Ferry to Ferry

Today we leave magical Aero Island and head to Oslo, Norway — via Copenhagen. We took the Aero Island ferry to get back to Copenhagen where our overnight ferry would be waiting for us. We had a couple of hours to kill in Copenhagen so we visited Christainsborg Palace and strolled around until it was time to catch our train. We used up the last of our Danish Krone storing our bags at the train station - mission accomplished! Our Ferry to Oslo is big - like small cruise ship big. We felt like cattle or sheep must feel getting through customs to board the boat, but once on our deck - free snacks, wine and beer were waiting for us - I booked the concierge level - it was pretty spacious with a balcony in our room - did I mention this ferry is big?

Leaving Areo Island and soon leaving Denmark. The wind blows the Danish flag in the direction of our journey - north to Oslo. Hej hej Denmark.

Right next to the Christainsborg Palace is Thorvaldsens Museum - on the roof of the museum the goddess of victory drives her team of four and expresses the fame that Thor­valdsen achieved with his art.

Walking back to the Copenhagen train station on Stromgade Street. A couple of nearly-naked guys hanging out with leafy drawers on the side of a building. If on a budget you can find this type of attire anywhere - just FYI.

We had a surprisingly delicious meal at dinner - so far the seas are smooth but the wifi is slower than dial-up - low expectations are the key to happiness.
