T-R-A-V-E-L - To know about a particular Tradition - Read about them - Accummulate Knowledge - Visit the places - Experience their Culture - Enjoy with our Loved Ones.....What more fun can travelling give? that too when you are in a new continent with a limited timeline (I never know :))), ample holidays (well me any my little dumpling are on 24*7 holidays), One simple word can explain everything - EXPLORE
You all guessed it right - its all about our recent trip to a neighbouring country - DENMARK or Danmark as in Danish ;) to mark our 4th wedding anniversary.
One thing that is becoming very popular in Scandinavian countries is the CRUISE trip to enjoy the fjords. (This reminds me of BERGEN post - will post soon. Its one of the best fjords in Norway which we visited couple of years before.) We wanted our little monster to have some fun in the ship (well rather we!!! Its becoming very difficult to control him in other means of transport like Bus, Train and Flights so we wanted to explore new options. Trust me this was equally challenging. He wanted to get into the water and play and not see from top) and all of us could together enjoy this new experience. Did I mention, it is at times the cheapest means of transport when you grab a good deal ;)))
DAY 1 - Kongsberg to Oslo - Board the Cruise in Oslo to Copenhagen
That was the D-day :) After finish packing, cleaning, cooking and all the other weekend routines including calling India to get all the blessings and wishes (well all this was over by 11AM, I know what you must be thinking, wow Anu is not a lazy loussy girl any more:))) we started our 2 hours roadtrip to Oslo in Car. We had a grand lunch in one of our friends place and oh yeah a free parking space as well for our car for the next three days. In a free ride reached the Oslo harbour when our White & Blue beauty was standing tall and stunning. We had taken the DDFS Cruise. As usual, missed to click the Ship. We were so engrossed and excited, it just slipped my mind.
The CRUISE experience - Different, Interesting, Relaxing. You are not tied with your seat. You are into a whole new experience. You are admiring your little one getting excited seeing new things. You get a chair to relax in the upper deck to watch the sunset with a steaming cup of coffee and cool breeze wildly waving Hi to welcome the guest. Your hubby does all the running around the kid. You just relax and keep clicking. You need another one word to express this - AMAZING :). Below are the glimpses inside the Cruise.
Shravan was busy playing

DAY 2 - Reached Copenhagen. Checked into the Hotel. Headed to Tivolli
The W&B beauty kissed the Copenhagen shore around 9.30AM. We had already finished our bath and breakfast in the ship, so we were ready to drop our luggage, hang the camera and start the tour ride. Our very friendly taxi driver gave a lot of tips and must visit places list. So kind of him.
CARLSBERG GLYPTOTEK - You are in an european country and there is no Museum - are you kidding? :). Two things I loved this Museum for - the ambiance and the greenry inside and the few sculpture explaining how colors were used in sculptures. Our little hero was taking a nap and was getting ready for the fun rides in Tivolli.
TIVOLLI Garden- Right in the center of the city. Had more resturants and eat outs than the rides. Amazing Landscape and Garden. Lots of rides for the kids and some really heart-stopping rides for the adults like me ;)). All three of us enjoyed to the core. And the playarea is what my Mr. Naughty like the most :).

Did you notice - I had mentioned Tivolli as a Garden.....Garden and no flowers ? :) A new addition to my blooming beauties :)
DAY 3 - Rosenberg Castle, Little Meremiad, Gefion Fountain, Amalienborg Palace, Nyhavn Boardwalk and a long loussy walk in the streets of Copenhagen.
would you like to revisit all these places with us in it :))
DAY 4 - Legoland. Reached Bilund Airport to head back to Oslo.
No words, just see the blocks build. If I dont mention it to you that these amazing objects are made out of building blocks, will you not think these are the real people and places in the picture. I am a hardcore Lego fan now :) and so is my son ;)). Ready for a World-tour?
DAY 5 - Morning 1AM - Got into the bed and grabbed a blanket. Morning 8AM - Still inside the blanket. Afternoon 1PM - Still inside. Evening 5PM - Slowly realizing - whats the time? :))))
So what is the last word to conclude this blog - THANKS to Ram for the wonderful trip. This trip is over but our lifetime journey together will continue :))
