2017-07-15, Summer Holidays 2017: Lundeborg Iron Age Fair

As mentione earlier, we visited the Iron Age Fair in Lundeborg some days after returning from sweden. I did not take as many photos as I usually do at this kind of events, but here is a few views of the site.

Vacation 2016 - Day 9, The Day-Trip to Barcelona, Part 2

Next stop was La Sagrada Familia.

Sadly, we should have bought tickets online, as the admission was closed for non-ticket holders when we got there, but I took the opportunity to take same photos of the outside.

Hopefully, next time we visit, the construction of the cathedral will be complete, and we shall get inside to marvel at Gaudi's weird architecture.

Of course, we had to capture the moment when we were there.

The last mandatory stop on the bucket list: The Rambla.

The famous market at the Rambla:

Plaça de Catalunya.

Vacation 2016 - Day 8: Quietness, an Unwanted Guest, and a Market

Our neighbor at the Camping had left some fish remains (he was catching the fish early in the morning), which attracted the attention of a cat.

Later in the day, we went to a market - I think it was in Lloret, but I honestly do not remember. Maybe one of my esteemed readers can enlighten me?

I bought some cotton shirts and a fine leather belt.

This scene is also from the market town - might help in identifying it?

Apart from visiting the market, we relaxed a lot, obviously went to the beach and swam, and generally just enjoyed ourselves.

Goblets and Cane

As mentioned in the post about Egeskov Market, I made a couple of purchases that day,

First, I fell in love with this walking cane, well suited for using with a waistcoat and a top hat.

The handle can be replaced (if the replacement fits the thread in the cane), but I think something would have to go completely wrong for me to want to do that.

And, no, it has no concealed blade, and as that would be against Danish law, it is probably just as well.

Late in the afternoon I stumbled on these goblets at a booth that was closing down - and I was given an offer I really could not refuse, as I like stuff like this a lot. If only there was six of the larger ones as well, but, well, you just cannot have it all.

Egeskov Market 2016

First purchase of ride tickets.

As always, we attended the annual Egeskov Market on the 3rd Wednesday of September (as of next year, on the weekend before the 3rd Wednesday of September!). And as always, the fun fair was the biggest attraction for the kids.

The fun fair has a ticket system where you have to go to a central booth to buy tickets that are valid for all the rides. Guess it has something to do with the management wanting to know how much cash flows in...

I did make a couple of purchases, a black cane with a wolf head handle, and a set of pewter wine and port goblets, but more about those in a later post.

The fun fair is not that impressive in full sunlight

Another ride - nobody gets me into one of those!

Bumper cars - more fun than last year

After supper, we went to the fair once more

This time, we went up on the Ferris wheel in the dark

Anna can look a little spooky at times

There is something about a fun fair at night

That was all from this year's market - although I may post some pics of my market finds one of the next days...
