"We are now waiting in the waiting room to come onto the aeroplane in forty five minutes. We are going to go on a QANTAS plane that has 2 decks and is very big! I am finding it hard to believe that it is actually happening! Our plane is right outside the window and it is enormous!" Going to Denmark and Austria was the first time I had ever been overseas. I was 10 years old, and remember being so excited just to be in the airport! We flew to Denmark in mid-December 2011, and spent 6 weeks in Europe before coming back to start school again. I kept a diary while I was there, writing almost every day because my parent's made me, and now I'm so grateful. These posts about Denmark and Austria are a mix or what I still remember, quotes out of my diary and bits and pieces of stories my parents have told over the years.

"Today we hopped on the train for Austria. 4 hours later we were in Hamburg, Germany. Then we hoppen on a train with beds and met a man called Andy who is from Austria. This train took 12 hours to get to Munich, Germany. We slept most of the way. In Munich we hopeed on anohter train and had breakfast, then went to Wörgl, Austria. In Wörgl we changed trains for Zell am See. In Zell am See we hopped on our last train which took us all the way to Neukirchen. We went out to play in the snow and sunk so far that mum had to dig out my boots."

"Today in the morning we went to the pool and then we were going to go to Tivoli which is a big fun park with lots of rides and fairy lights. But we didn't get to go because it was raining. Dad gave us a glass of orange juice each instead but he couldn't read the Danish label and it was actually straight cordial! YUCK!" "Today we went to a big cliff made entirely out of wet not-quite-hardened chalk! It's called Møns Klint. The beach was really rocky and there's a kind of rock that was used for axe heads. I collected one."
My 10 year old self was right! Møns Klint is an incredible formation of chalk about 2 hours south of Copenhagen. The cliffs are 70 million years old, and are being slowly eroded away into the Baltic Sea, causing the water to be beautifully clear and referred to by locals as their 'Cold Carribean'. |
