Billund
Looking at pictures of Billund is a glimpse back to when my life’s only worries were when Balamory was gonna be on the tele. Apparently, it’s the home of LEGO as it houses NINE Legolands, making it a pretty good destination if you’ve got kids, you can chuck em in a Legoland for the day and drink pints of Denmark’s finest booze on your own without a small person screaming and snotting all over you. How good does that sound?!
