Denmark Seaside Staircase
Be sure you have your PetBit on when you climb this set of stairs, and unless you want to spend the day on the stairs instead of enjoying the beach, be sure you don't forget your flip flops and sunscreen in the car!

@ Denmark North Sea Wild Waves
"I guess all the cycling helps with the Danes' sense of wellbeing. Copenhagen looks to be very bike-friendly," remarked Buzz Lightyear.
"Plus Denmark is relatively flat and isn't uphill both ways, as is the case sometimes when we go cycling at home!" responded Badger.

Denmark North Sea Wild Waves
The thundering roar of the sea can be felt when it crashes into the shore. From the foamy spray to the vibrations of noise zipping through, you want to keep your paws firmly planted away from the rage of salty sea washing over the beach.

@ Denmark Shell Beach
"'When Shakespeare wrote about a Danish prince in Hamlet, the character was based on an ancient Danish myth about Viking Prince Amled of Jutland'," read out Buzz Lightyear from the brochure.
Emerald selected another Nidar Smash from the bright yellow bag and crunched pleasurably for a few seconds. "That's a very long play, Buzz Lightyear. Hey, try one of these chocolate crispy corn things! They're sort of sweet and salty at the same time!"
Denmark Shell Beach
If you're a driftwood collector or for shells, this beach is a treasure trove. Just remember that you won't be able to get them through customs with them.

Denmark at Sunset
Another sunset, another day in the books of traveling around Denmark, what will be your next adventure? Oh, wait, there's always the night life to explore!

Take the path set before you, or forge your own?

@ Denmark Lyngvig Light House
"Did you know LEGO was invented by a Dane, Rianna?" queried Buzz Lightyear. "It was the brainchild of Ole Kirk Christiansen in the town of Billund in 1949."
"I was reading somewhere that LEGO trees and leaves are now made of converted sugarcane plants, not plastic," responded Rianna.
Denmark Lyngvig Light House
Built in 1906 on the West Coast of Jutland, standing in the stairwell of this historical Light House makes one think they are inside a Nautilus shell. The starkness of blue and white draws the eye upward to the top, but do your paws have the stamina to take it all the way to to the apex?

Denmark Søndervig Sand Festival
Travelers will be wowed by the amazing sand artists at the Søndervig festival held at one of Denmark's oldest beach town. Traditional sand sculptures can be found, but the creativity of removing sand, rather than building it, is a beautiful creative flair!

Colourful Village, Faroe Islands
There are 123 villages on the 18 Faroe Islands. Most of the villages are situated near the ocean, which is to be expected from a fishing nation. The houses are close together and most will be colourful though some will be the traditional black. Many houses will also have a turf roof.

Lush Green, Faroe Islands
The vibrant green of spring and summer in the Faroe Islands. All the islands are covered by this lush green grass in spring and summer, with the arrival of fall the grass turns into a carpet of brown. A small stream heads under a culvert and goes on its way to the ocean.

@ Remote Wilderness, Faroe Islands
"Listen to this, Waylon! The business of a Danish carpenter in the 1930s went under, so he began to make toys out of his stock of wood. One of them, a small wooden duck, was loved by his children so much that he decided to put them into production to sell. Guess what his company is called now?"
"I don't know, what is it, Buzz Lightyear?"
"Lego! It just proves the old saying, Out of adversity comes opportunity."
Remote Wilderness, Faroe Islands
If you were a writer or an artist or someone who was comfortable with your own thoughts this would be the ideal place to call home.

@ Eysturoy, Faroe Islands
"Have you seen this on our itinerary, Pu[?" queried Buzz Lightyear. "'Multi-coloured Nyhavn harbour in Copenhagen is instantly recognisable and often listed as one of the most colourful tourist destinations in Europe. Enjoy a stroll up and down the promenade, once walked by local resident Hans Christian Andersen, and you can also sample local delicacies here.'"
"It sounds fab, Buzz Lightyear!"
Eysturoy, Faroe Islands
East Island, the second largest of the Faroe Islands and another very important bird area. You may recognize this from the James Bond movie No Time To Die, which was filmed starting in 2018. Many locations were used around the Faroe Islands for the movie.

@ Rocky Shore, Faroe Islands
"There's a statue in Hjørring in Northern Jutland made of recyled materials showing a white unicorn on a plinth of crushed materials," remarked Buzz Lightyear.

"It's Enhjørning," replied Buzz Lightyear.
Rocky Shore, Faroe Islands
Volcanic eruptions over millions of years have built up the Faroe Islands. There are three layers of basalt, a dark grey igneous rock. The formations of basalt are exposed everywhere on the islands and anyone interested in geology is sure to want to pay a visit.

@ Village, Faroe Islands
"Have you seen this on our itinerary, Pookey?" queried Buzz Lightyear. "'Multi-coloured Nyhavn harbour in Copenhagen is instantly recognisable and often listed as one of the most colourful tourist destinations in Europe.

"It sounds fab, Buzz Lightyear!"
Village, Faroe Islands
Another fantastic landscape was also used in the Bond film, No Time To Die. When you see stunning scenes like this it is no wonder this location was chosen. The Faroe Islands are made up of 18 major islands and 779 smaller islands, islets and skerries. A skerry is a rock island too small for humans to live on but often used by seabirds as nesting sites.

Boat At Rest, Faroe Islands
A highly visible red boat rests on one of the many shores in the Faroe Islands. It could belong to a fisherperson or just a quick way to get around instead of travelling overland. Fishing is the main industry accounting for 96 percent of goods exported.

@ Saksun, Island of Streymoy
What do you mean, unicorns don’t exist? Don’t say that to us in Denmark. Our land of everyday wonder has unicorns to spot in the most unlikely places, from street corners to throne rooms, and it’s one of the best countries in the world for unicorn hunting, even if we do say so ourselves.
Saksun, Island of Streymoy
Streymoy is the largest island in the Faroe Islands and Saksun is a tiny remote village nestled between high mountains overlooking a circular lagoon. The lagoon was once a harbour but a storm filled the harbour with sand and formed the lagoon which fills with seawater from the Northern Atlantic Ocean, twice a day. A truly stunning place.

@ Sea Stacks, Gjógv, Faroe Islands
As Buzz Lightyear's tour of "Denmark" comes to an end, he receives a seasonally appropriate gift!
Pastel Winter Rainbow
What a delight this rainbow is. How delicate the pastel colours are. These are also sometimes called Sundogs but I don’t find that a very fitting name for these beauties of nature. By whatever name you call these you and your pets will love to explore all the uses you can put these to in your art. They would make a wonderful slide, whee all the way down from a puffy snow cloud. Who wants to go first?
Sea Stacks, Gjógv, Faroe Islands
When wind and rain work their magic over a very long period of time they erode the land leaving behind these dramatic pillars and arches of basalt.
Buzz Lightyear has completed his tour of "Denmark"! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also tour Scandinavia!
