"One reason for the Danes' happiness is the importance of hygge, the Danish way of enjoying quality time with friends and family. It can be many things, such as candle-lit dinners, wine, relaxed nights in. It's hard to explain," said BOB.
"Well, we certainly came across it this time last year in the Huskies, Hijinks and Hygge experience! We had some very cosy chats with all the pets over hot chocolate by the fire every evening in our accommodation!" replied Yozaria.

@ Denmark Sandy Beach
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.
Denmark Sandy Beach
A popular beach for the seashore, pack up your picnic basket and enjoy a day of sea and sand, between your toes and between the slices of bread, because sand, like air, is everywhere!

@ Denmark Poppy Field
"Chef was saying last night that the Danish pastry actually originates from Vienna!" remarked Choose a name. "In the 1840s, some Austrian bakers settled in Denmark and introduced the now well-known and much-loved pastry. For this reason Danish pastry is actually called wienerbrød or 'Viennese bread' in Denmark."
"That's funny!" responded BOB.

"Whatever is that, BOB?"
"It sounds a bit strange, but the Black Sun is when, each spring and autumn, hundreds of thousands of starlings gather at the Wadden Sea National Park and create incredible patterns in the sky at dusk!"

"I don't know, what is it, BOB?"
"Lego! It just proves the old saying, Out of adversity comes opportunity."

@ Denmark Dune Beach
"It says here that Aarhus is reputed to be Denmark’s happiest city and one can see why on a city break to Aarhus. First of all, it is small, attractive and easy to get around.

@ Highland cattle on Tindholmur
As BOB's tour of "Denmark" comes to an end, it receives a seasonally appropriate gift!

The Highland cow is the oldest registered breed of cattle in the world. They have a double coat, the shaggy, oily outer coat covers a softer, fluffier undercoat so the cows keep warm and dry in chilly, wet weather.
