When we left Cape Town at 10:00pm it was sunny, warm (27c) and heading into summer. When we arrived in Copenhagen at 3:30pm it was overcast, cold (3.5c) and winter had arrived. We picked up our rental car and headed to our good friend Josh's cottage in a tiny village called Holloselund that overlooks the North Sea. Thankfully, its only about an hours drive from Copenhagen Airport and we managed to arrive while there was still some light in the sky. We unpacked, headed to the local grocery store to pick up some essentials, showered and had a very nice dinner before collapsing into bed after 18 hours of traveling. The next day Rita and I cleaned the place up, as it had not been used for some time, to get it ready for her parents arrival later in the afternoon. As you can imagine, it was an emotional welcome as they had not seen each other for several months. We had another very nice dinner over a lot of conversation, most of it in German. The following morning we headed for Helsinge, a larger town about 10 minutes drive from our cottage to pick up some serious groceries, wine, a Christmas tree and decorations. Tomorrow we will start to settle into our Denmark routine.
