We are actually back from Paris already. I pre-scheduled the past 8 or so blog entries so that I wouldn’t have to spend any time blogging in Paris. Now that\u00a0our\u00a0European adventures are over I can turn to Paris for the next little while. I’ll have some more entries on Denmark\u00a0in a few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On our journey from Copenhagen to Paris we learned three things. First, never trust that your pre-arranged taxi will actually show up. Two, always have a backup plan. And, three, leave yourself more time than you will really need to get to the airport.<\/p>\n

We had someone else call in Danish to reserve an early morning taxi for us. They said we were all set, but no taxi was there when scheduled. We waited 15 minutes and then I headed for a pay phone. When I finally got through the person on the other end either couldn’t hear me or they were the only person in Denmark who doesn’t speak English. (I take that back; neither of our Copenhagen taxi drivers spoke English.) We were now sweating it, but we had left plenty of cushion time. We walked to the Forum Metro station with the intent of taking the train to the airport, but along the way we hailed a cab and made it in plenty of time.<\/p>\n

We couldn’t leave Copenhagen without some more cloud displays<\/a> so Mother Nature cooperated by given us multi-layers at take off.<\/p>\n

You can see from the above image (after enlarging it by clicking on it)\u00a0that we\u00a0flew on Air Berlin. Everything was great on Air Berlin but the food. The sandwiches were horrible.<\/p>\n

South of Copenhagen the clouds broke\u00a0for some nice views of the countryside. We didn’t fly direct to Paris. Hence, the plane never got that high in the sky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These islands off of the main Denmark masses all seemed to be populated. I’m not sure which islands these are, but they may have been part of the Rago Sund<\/em> near Southern Zealand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The plane wasn’t full so Ellie’s stuffed animal, Maja, even got a seat.<\/p>\n

This is Dusseldorf, Germany where we made our connection to Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
