Yesterday we walked to the 'traffik terminal' and caught a train to Vejle. It was a sunny day and its a gorgeous town. All the shops put out their wares market style on Saturdays. This seems to be a thing as they do it here in Horsens as well. There was some gorgeous buildings along the street.

They also have a really weird looking hotel and a windmill. We saw these but I didn't take photos so these are borrowed from the net:
The age of Denmark is quite something compared to the young nation that is home. Close by in
Jelling, there are two stones carved around 7-800 years ago, with the runic inscription;
"King Harald bade these memorials to be made after Gorm, his father, and Thyra, his mother. The Harald who won the whole of Denmark and Norway and turned the Danes to Christianity." And 'King Herald' was King Herald Bluetooth who's name and runic symbol was used for the modern day
Bluetooth technology.
I kid you not.

From Vejle, we took the bus to Billund. Billund is famous for being the home town of Lego which, I have found out is short for
'leg godt' which means
'play well'. It has the first
Legoland and Denmark's second biggest
airport which originated in 1961 when the son of the Lego founder established a private runway close to his Lego factory. Close buy there is also
Laladia - a tropical waterpark and a
zoo so a primo destination for kids. I wish I could bring my grandkids here!
When finished, the Lego House will look like this:

We caught a bus from the airport which took us back to the outskirts of Horsens, and then another bus to home. A good thing we have found, is that when you buy a bus ticket it has a time limit and you can keep catching buses on the one ticket until the time runs out. Some nice scenery on the way...
