We arrived in Denmark full of expectation to this wonderful city. It's surprised us that almost all the Scandinavian countries are quite small. Denmark only 4.5million people and more palaces than you can believe. They also have a massive tax bill and gst is 25%! This is the home of princess Mary who they seem to approve.

Similar taxes to us. It gets bitterly cold with temperatures down to -20/-40! It is 20 today and they are celebrating the sun. It will be daylight till midnight...
