My Internet connection at the house was spotty and was used primarily to quickly check in with the office on Skype and check email. So, this post is catch up from Days 4-11.

On Day 4 we picked up a car from Eurocar. We had made arrangements for a car like a Ford Focus, but they had run out all the cars in that class. They upgraded us to an Audi A6 which was pretty nice. We got a Garmin Nuvi with the car, which proved to be a great addition to our travel experience. It took a little getting used to, but once we were familiar with the Nuvi's instructions, it became pretty intuitive. From Copenhagen we drove to the other side of the of the same island that Copenhagen lives on to a tiny town called Vig Lyn where we picked up keys to the house Viddinge Bakker which my brother Alec and his wife rented for my family and my other brother's (Sean) family.

The house was marvelous--large, with three double beds, a fold out couch, and bunk beds. It had a nicely appointed kitchen with a large kitchen table. The living room had a nice high efficiency stove. It had a great big wrap around that circled the whole house and a wild garden that was several acres in size. The garden had lots of trees that turned large portions into a kind of labyrinth. It had two firepits and a kid's club house along with a swing and a several ropes to swing from. At the bottom of the garden was a greenhouse. There was a large grill (which we ended up cooking on twice) that was big enough to cook for 17 of us.

My eldest brother had another house about 4 kilometres from the house we were in that included a hot tub and an indoor pool. My eldest brother, his wife, five kids, my parents, and one additional guest stayed there.
