Finally a trip for fun and not for business! Sorry for being quiet the last weeks, but finally I was able to take a week off and go on vacation. Being on a trip with the family is naturally quite different from going to a conference; and it is much more fun. So last week we packed the car (and believe me, you gotta pack a lot when you travel with a one-year old kid!) and went off to Denmark.
Why Denmark? Well first of all it is close. The border is just a 1.5h drive from Hamburg. And then of course Denmark has a fantastic coast to the North Sea, endless natural beaches with broad dune areas. So a perfect place for a kid starting to have fun in the sand following the saying that the three basic rights for children are swings, sand and water.
So we rented a brand new house in the dunes (see picture below) and enjoyed a week with fantastic weather having long walks on the beach (remember that this is Northern Europe, spring is still a cool season here).
Here is a view of the house we rented (the black one on the left).
Another view. The path leads directly to the beach, just 200m through the dunes.
I just recognize now that I made no photos on the beach. It always had the video camera with me, but not the stills camera...
This was really a relaxing week, now I try to cope with my overfull INBOX and the mail on my desk.
Karsten, I have heard of forward-backward asymmetry. What does it mean?
