I've Been A Few Places Lately

A satellite image of Denmark! Denmark is within the blue border, the island of Fyn is circled by a yellow border and the green spot is where I live!
I hope you understand the above map because it took me ages to make! Why did I make it? Well to be honest it was too cold today to go outside so I had nothing better to do. But another reason why I did it was so you fellows can see exactly where abouts I am living and where I have been the last 2 weeks. If you look carefully on the map of Denmark, there are 3 spots: a green, red and blue spot. Read below to find out what I was doing at these 3 exciting spots! 

 
GREEN SPOT: MUNKEBO
So the green spot on the map is the small town of Munkebo where I live. Here I spend my days off at work and as you can see I've been having the time of my life with my friends!

 
RED SPOT: FYNSHOVED
As you should know by now, I live on an island called Fyn. The Northern-most tip of the island is called Fyns Hoved (literally meaning Fyn's head) which is the red spot! Here I am on the top of Fyn!

BLUE SPOT: ESBJERG
The blue spot on the map is Esbjerg- a reasonably big fishing town on Jylland (or Jutland in English) which is the only part of Denmark that's not an island. Here in Esbjerg four giant white men sit facing West staring out at sea. They were amazing!

On this photo you can see how massive these men are compared to me!  

They're like the Danish answer to the Easter Island statues and the four Egyptian statues outside a temple (no clue what it's called). That day in Esbjerg I also visited a fishing museum which wasn't exactly what I call exciting. It was basically a museum showing the different nets fishermen in Denmark have been using through the years!! Anyway now it's May and I've already got a few things lined up for this month, including a trip higher up in Jutland and few bits here and there. Also, summer is fast approaching which I CAN'T WAIT FOR!! I've almost completely organised what I'll be doing in the Summer and all I'll tell you now is: NORWAY, SWEDEN and ENGLAND!
