Onwards to Seville! Each post threatens to be twice as long as the last - this trip really gains momentum as we get deeper into Andalusia. I had high expectations for Seville after hearing my siblings rave about it, and happily it delivered. Again, there is so much to see and do in Seville, even before … Continue reading Seville

Cordoba
Leaving Madrid we headed south a few hours to Cordoba, which marked the real start of our Andalusian adventures. For a small town, Cordoba has a lot of amazing things to see and do so I'll get straight into it. Fresh off the train, we started at the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos (Castle of the … Continue reading Cordoba
Segovia
I wasn't lying when I said we spent most of our time in Madrid outside of Madrid. It made for an exhausting start to our trip, but now that I look back on the photos I'm glad that we made the effort to get out into the countryside. Our second day trip was to Segovia … Continue reading Segovia
Holy Toledo
It only took about 4 months, but I'm finally getting around to writing about our Spain trip. While in Madrid we spent our second day travelling south by train on a day trip to Toledo. It was worth the journey just for the view walking up from the station... Holy Toledo is right - the main attraction … Continue reading Holy Toledo
The other place
Two weeks ago we shook ourselves out of our cozy Copenhagen routine and took a trip to another cozy little city. As an Oxonian it pains me to say it, but we had a lovely weekend in Cambridge. 7am flights always seem like such a good idea when you are booking a trip, but the impetus to … Continue reading The other place
Zamek w Malborku
Despite our trip being well over a month ago now, this blog is still stuck in Poland. Although most of our time in Gdansk was spent wandering from one pierogi shop to another, we also managed to fit in a side trip to Malbork. The slogan for the town should probably be: 'Malbork: terrible name, mad castle'. After … Continue reading Zamek w Malborku
Gdansk
A few weeks back we took advantage of Ant's work obligations in Poland and spent a weekend in Gdansk. The lure of pierogis and krówki was strong. I'll admit to knowing very little about Gdansk before arriving, and ended up being totally charmed. Gdansk - or Danzig in German - is a seaport on the Baltic … Continue reading Gdansk
Hurtig tur til london
A few weeks ago now we ducked over to London to catch up with the other expat branch of Ant's family on what was the last of a very protracted run of long weekends. The trip peaked on arrival, with Sophie's home cooked beef short rib kalbi (galbi? Ugh, Korea and Denmark can totally get together and … Continue reading Hurtig tur til london
Tager færgen til øgruppen
In my last post I failed to mention the very best thing we did while we were in Stockholm, which was to leave the city and take a ferry out into the archipelago (or the archigepalo / archipegalo / archigelupo as a well-intentioned American lady on the ferry kept calling it). The boat we took is essentially … Continue reading Tager færgen til øgruppen
Vores nordlige naboer
Another spring week, another random Jesus-themed holiday...this time Ascension Day. Not wanting to let Jesus rising on a Thursday ruin a perfectly good long weekend opportunity, Ant's work also threw in Friday as a day off. Letting flight prices decide our fate, we ended up in Stockholm. It had been over ten years since I had been there … Continue reading Vores nordlige naboer
