The Island of Fyn

Denmark is made up of one large main part of land attached to Germany and then 407 other islands.  There are 2 large islands, Sjælland and Fyn.  We live on Sjælland and although we love it here, we are a little landlocked.  To get off the island you either take a ferry to Germany, a bridge to Fyn or a bridge to Sweden.  All 3 options cost around $50 one way, so needless to say, we don't leave Sjælland very often. So, we were very excited to make our first trip to Fyn while Grammy, Grandad & Blake were visiting.  We crossed the big bridge and then drove down through a couple of the smaller islands south of Fyn.  I wish we'd had more time in this area, it was so beautiful!  And then we headed back up to Egeskov Castle.  We spent the afternoon there and then ended up in Odense for dinner before heading home.  I really enjoyed what we saw and I hope we'll get the opportunity to visit Fyn again.  Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Blake put up a good fight, but I think the Crocs did him in.
