Schleswig Part 1

Today we headed off for a short trip to Denmark. We haven’t explored much there, only driven through to go to the ferry and forever ago before we moved over here we stopped in Copenhagen for a few days. There is a Pokémon event happening next weekend in Copenhagen and Raymond had gone there for a work trip a few years ago and really enjoyed it so we decided to make a trip of it!

First stop was Schleswig Germany, just for the night. Raymond was supposed to have a work meeting later this afternoon so we headed off this morning to get here before then, but then it was canceled so we had lots of time to explore! The town is on a big lake which is why I chose it as it looked nice and we have never been. We are staying right next to Schloss Gottorf so first we went to spy on that. I wasn’t expecting to see much, but you could wander the grounds and there was so much art outside (and we saw people going around cleaning them!) and the biggest baroque garden north of the Alps! So was a lot more to see than I expected and we spent more time there than I thought we would.

Oh, if you zoom in on the tree branch in the water in the second photo there is a heron!Read more
