Leg 1 of Vacation - Aunt Inge






We've all just gotten home from 2 weeks of travel, visiting family all around in Denmark in our new car. First stop: Faster Inge (Father's sister Inge). She lives on an island located right under Sjælland called Falster. This island is connected by bridge to another large island called Lolland, so the two are often considered as one: Lolland-Falster. On the island of Lolland, there is a large animal safari park called Knutenborg, where you can drive through with your car and see lots of African and Asian animals. The zebras were one of the highlights of our trip, as they led an entire caravan of giraffes, gazelles and long-horned african cows right in front of our car. We had gorgeous weather, so Max really got to get a great glimpse of the animals. They also had an amusement park, with a train and ice-cream booths. So, we all had a wonderful time with Inge.
We also got to see Inge's new apartment and took a daytrip into town for a new pair of clogs (see picture for explanation) and (again...)ice-cream.
Before we drove out of town, we took flowers to Morten's grandparents gravesite. (Father's side). Max wanted to know who lived in these odd little enclosures and immediately took to playing cars on grandma and grandpa's plot. Daddy showed him how to water the plants and told him a little bit about "Oldemor og Oldefar" - Great gramma and grampa Mølgaard.
