What a way to spend a morning!

Our guide, Conrad, was very red-haired- as he pointed out- and had a fantastic comic delivery, but also managed to blend in a wealth of information about Danish history and geography. We were a mixed group, spanning 3 continents, but he soon had us laughing like old friends. Group participation was fun and we all learnt a lot. I wish we had had time to go on the beer tour also.
