Winter in Denmark

It was really nice to duck out in totally different world for just a little while. There have been quite amount of snow in Denmark earlier in this winter, were we told, but now there was about none left. But there were a thin layer of ice on the lakes. That was cool!

All the Scandinavian languages are pretty close to each other. If you can speak one of them, you'll somehow survive where-ever in Scandinavia; meaning Norway, Sweden and Denmark. As Norwegian speaking you just need to get used for Danish way to pronounce the words and of course learn some basic words which are different. I was communicating with those Danes by talking Norwegian for them and they answered Danish for me - and somehow we understood each others at least mostly. Kind of strange way to chat, but it's working :)

When we were in the mainland, meant it also that we had a possibility to fill in our stocks, buy the things which can't be bought here in Svalbard. So, we fly to Denmark with half-emptly baggages and fly back with tightly packed loads. Now we can again manage easily again until next holiday :)
