Touring through Copenhagen, Denmark and the flowers!

We left Belgium and are now headed to Copenhagen, Denmark.  It is late
April so we are hoping to see the tulips in bloom.  As we drove along the
frontage road to access the freeway, we saw a unique sight along the roadside.
If you have garbage, see if you can make a basket!  What a clever way to
encourage disposing of you trash responsibly.

Another fun sight along the freeway was this tanker truck.  As you may or may not know,
Grandma's  name before she became a Roberts was Schenk.  Our ancestors came from
the German part of Switzerland and before that Germany.  Most Americans with the name
Schenk do not spell it SCHENK so anytime I see the correct spelling I have to assume
it is a relative.

We are in the middle of the large city of Copenhagen and there are bicycles everywhere.  They
pretty much have the right of way.  We are at a stop light waiting for all of them to pass.

Now for the tulips, daffodils, crocus, and any other spring flower that you can think of.  It
is absolutely breath-taking to see these large fields of flowers blooming.

And of course, a windmill surrounded by tulips.  How Danish can you get.

What would it be like to wake up in the morning and see this huge field of Daffodils right
outside your window.

We then went to a gigantic garden (probably 15 times bigger than Thanksgiving Point.)  It was
very cold so we brought blankets with us because we didn't have anything very warm to wear.
We walked and walked and everywhere were fantastic displays of flowers.

Pink Tulips

Yellow Tulips

Every color imaginable.

They had ponds, bridges, swans, and the flowers were artistically designed.

Yes, definitely a "thumbs up" day for both of us.

More Orange Tulips.

Such a beautiful Mallard who really thought he owned that small pond of water.

Here's Grandma just goofing around.   

So then Grandpa out needed a turn.

As we left the Gardens we drove to an area that still has original, working windmills. 

Okay, so this is really a postcard, but I thought it was so beautiful I cheated.
What a wonderful week we had in Belgium and Denmark to finish our mission.
Tomorrow we head to the airport to see if we can get ALL of our luggage on the
plane.  That will be another story I'm sure.
