This year we went to Denmark for our summer vacation. Yes, again! We still can’t get enough of Denmark. This time we went to West-Jutland to a place called Jegum Ferieland near Oksby and Esbjerg. We rented a summer house for 4-6 people for a week. Because we had room left in the house & car we took along Davida (a girl from our church youthgroup). We left Holland on the 1st of August and arrived that early evening in Denmark.
Day 1 Sunday
We had a lazy day because of the long drive and many traffic jams. (Thank you Germany!) We watched some DVD’s (‘Friends’ has to be the best comedy ever!), played some games and Yoram played outside in the rain with his super watersoaker.

Day 2 Monday
Today there was some rain (as we espected) so we decided the call it an easy day. We visited the Blavand Bolcher, a small candy factory/store where “children” can make there own lolypop. We also walked on the beach boulevard and bought Yoram a new kite. Later that day we went swimming in the Blavand Badeland (a big swimming hall).
Day 3 Tuesday
Today we went to the Ribe Vikinge center (about an hour drive south from where we stayed). It’s a town build to show how the Danish people (vikings) lived over a 1000 years ago. Below are some pictures:
Day 3 Wednesday
Today we went to Henne strand for a lazy day on the beach. Yoram and Yair where having a great time and Yoram could finally play with his kite. We ended the day at a local restaurant and then went to our summer house again. Here are some pictures of the beach and GREAT weather!
Day 5 Thursday
We don’t know where Yoram got it from, but in Holland he already decided that he wanted to go fishing- because that’s what you do in Denmark! We haven’t been out fishing in Holland yet, so we had to buy a starter fishing rope and bought a two hour fishing pass for a lake in Vrogum Fiskeso (near our vacation home). Here are some pictures of Yoram fishing (he catched three small fishes in 2 hours time, more than most fishermans, who took of after a while looking not too happy :-))
Afther the fishing adventure the boys stayed at the vacation home (sleeping time and going to the playground in Jegum Ferieland). Rachel & Davida decided to do some necessary shopping in Esbjerg.
Day 6 Friday
Today it’s the last ‘normal’ day in Denmark, tomorrow we will have to pack and drive back to Holland 
So we decided to take it easy and went to the Blavand Badeland (swimming) and later that day we went to the Jegum Ferieland playground. We rented some miniture-golf clubs. Yorams way of playing miniture golf is holding the club like a pool cue instead of, well… like you’re supposes to. Hahaha! Here are some pictures:
That was our summer vacation 2009 ! Too short to do & see everything in this part of Denmark! So, our next vacation will be in, you’ve guessed it; Denmark!
