Jubi, der er sommer!<\/b> (Hooray, it\u2019s summer!) For most danskere<\/b> (Danes), that means ferie<\/b> (vacation). Fortunately, in a hyggelig<\/b> country like Danmark<\/b>, there\u2019s always a lot to do \u2013 especially when solen skinner<\/b> (the sun is shining)! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Kan du li\u2019 at bade? <\/b>(Do you like bathing?) Find badet\u00f8jet frem<\/b> (find your bathing clothes) and join vennerne<\/b> (your friends, literally \u201dthe friends\u201d) p\u00e5 stranden<\/b> (at the beach). No place in Denmark is more than 100 km (62 miles) away from havet<\/b> (the sea), and many inland locations have nice s\u00f8er<\/b> (lakes), so there\u2019s really a lot of opportunities to swim (at sv\u00f8mme<\/b>) \u2013 og just tage solbad<\/b> (take a sun bath). Remember to bring<\/a> a h\u00e5ndkl\u00e6de <\/b>(towel) to lie on, solbriller<\/b> (sunglasses) and rigeligt med solcreme<\/b> (plenty of sunscreen). And maybe a bold<\/b> [bolt] (ball) or a frisbee<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Mange danskere holder af at sejle<\/b> (many Danes like to sail). Of course, if you don\u2019t have your own b\u00e5d<\/b> (boat), you really have to use your Danish skills in order to get a ride! \ud83d\ude42 Renting your own kajak<\/b> or kano<\/b> is very often possible, though \u2013 for a great experience, go on a rowing trip on the Guden\u00e5en<\/b> river\u2026<\/p>\n

Sommerferien er festivaltid<\/b> (the summer holidays are festival time). From the huge Roskilde Festival<\/b><\/a> to small gatherings on tiny islands, the hot summer air is filled with the sounds of music. People drink \u00f8l<\/b> (beer) and feel happy and alive i solen<\/b> (in the sun). If you\u2019re more of the quiet type, cultural Denmark has got plenty to offer, too, from kunstudstillinger <\/b>(art exhibits) to guided tours in castles.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you really just want to sidde i skyggen og slappe af<\/b> (sit in the shadow and relax), below a sculpture in Legoland<\/b> or a b\u00f8getr\u00e6<\/b> (beech tree) in skoven<\/b> (the forest). Eat some jordb\u00e6r<\/b> (strawberries) or an is<\/b><\/a> [ees] (icecream) and enjoy the moment. In Denmark, nobody ever knows how long the summer lasts\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
