Witch day at Conspiracy inc.

So this weekend was 'Sankt Hans' here in Denmark which is a night of bonfires and Witch burning. However instead of burning the poor Witches the cool peeps over at Conspiracy Inc figured it was time to celebrate the Witch with a walk in day at the studio...and as ideas go thats pretty awesome.

I figured that I should celebrate the Witch theme day with some LEGO action... not that I need much of an excuse.

The studio is in a very pretty part of town and I managed to snap a nice pic before the rain hit again.

After a warm welcome at the studio we were invited in to see the Witches.

Oooooooo!

Once Allan got started with the first of a long line of people I had a 'snoop' around the studio. There is sooooo much cool stuff on the walls but there is simply not enough blog space to do it justice.... but I liked this guy a lot.

Now there's a familiar face.

So came my turn to choose and this was the Witch I went with. It was actually a hard choice as they were all so good but I cant resist a pretty lady in a hat. :)

In the Lair of Uncle Allan.

The man himself working on my foot.

Never had my foot done before, glad to say I didn't cry..... much.

All wrapped and ready to roll!..... well, more of a limp than a roll really.

"If you see this man escort him off the premisses"

Well there she is! I'll try and get some better pics once she heals up but i'm very happy with her.

All it all it was a great event and a lot of fun. I just want to say a big "TAK!" to  Flora Amalie & Uncle Allan for the warm welcome, a fun time and a great tattoo! Hope to see you again soon. :)

Adventure in Santorini Pt3

After a few days of R&R we started to explore the island a little bit. The place is not all that big and it seemed the best way to get around was via an ATV. I would not recommend a car for getting about (well not a big one anyway) and this was a fun way to explore. 

So the saga continues.....

The finger pyramid of evil contemplation.

This was our 'Hog'!

Its a cool look....no?

Lets ride!

Most of the buildings are brilliant White, so they really stand out when you see them against the dark rock.

Keeping out toes cool in the sea.

Easy riders.

Donkeys.... smelly,smelly Donkeys.

I asked a Crab to take a photo for us.

Thats are apartment.

What better way to cool down than with a Milkshake!

Mmmmmmmmm.

One of the best tasting fish we had on our vacation.

Adventure in Santorini Pt2

So the adventure continues!

We now had our luggage back and we were in the mood to get some hard core relaxing done. It was nice just to have a couple of lazy days of walking and drinking iced coffee. The town or Oia is not very big but being a volcanic island there are a lot of steps! I'm hoping we burnt more calories then we ate..... but probably not.

This was one of the most impressive sets of steps and you cant even see all of them in this pic. Me and Fee did them a couple of times as there was some nice seafood places at the bottom.

This is where the steps lead you to and we could actually see this from our room. This is where a lot of the tour boats pulled in so we would make sure to head down when the place was NOT crawling with tourists.

As I mentioned before the sun set is rather famous and rightly so. We had a front row seat every night but people would line up and sit on rooftops just to get a good view.

Now thats a view!

The picture can't really do it justice but the colours were amazing.

Pretty lady on a pretty island.

This reminded us of Denmark.

Not sure what I was looking at ....

 We spotted this little island and we kind of hoped it was the home of some kind of Bond villain!

This guy just hung out there most days keeping an eye on us tourists.

For the most part* the food was great on the island and this was once of the best meals. That desert was Mascarpone with white chocolate and berries..... I MUST RECREATE IT!

*Fish is very fresh on the island but shell fish and most stuff like Squid is frozen and imported in. So that can be a little disappointing if you are not aware of it. So just stick to the amazing fresh fish.

Adventure in Santorini Pt1

Boooo! As good as it is to be back reading your great blogs i'm sad to be back in Denmark after such a nice holiday in the sun. Me and the Mrs jetted off to Santorini which is a volcanic island off the coast of Greece. We had a great time relaxing in the sun and eating great food, so here's part one of the photo bombing... ENJOY! 

Fee was mega excited to be going on holiday.

EEEEEEE!

We had to take the train up to Copenhagen as we could not fly out of Billund, so this was part one of the long journey.

On of our stops was in Milan where we had a quick bite to eat before our flight. Mushrooms, Ham and melted Cheese with a glass of Wine..... simple but very tasty indeed.

The next stop was in Athens where we had a good few hours to kill, thank god for the business lounge! Plus we got to see the 'Museum of Decrative Bread' while we were there. BONUS!

After one Train and three planes we finally made it to Santorini in the early morning. Tired but happy to have arrived to such a great sun rise.

People waiting for the 'gods of the luggage belt' to deliver them gifts.... sadly the gods were not pleased with us and we had to wait an extra day for our bags to arrive.

However, once we saw the view from our room were soon forgot about the luggage. Well done to Mrs Groves for finding such a great apartment.

No matter where you go on this island you have a great photo op!

As we were early our room was not ready, so we went for a walk around town. Turned out to be nice as nobody was about at that time and the town can get rather busy.

"THE BELLS! THE BELLS!"

Once the tour buses and the cruise ships come in you can hardly walk down these streets.

So getting to see it in the early morning was a great.

The local and very pretty church.

So much Blue sky!

As its a volcanic island you get some rather funky plant life going on.

Greece is the home of sweet iced coffee or 'Frappe' as the locals call it. Me and the Mrs are very much into iced coffee at the moment, so that worked out well for us.

Once we got into our room we were rather tired and took and nap and had a relaxed night.

The sunsets are AMAZING and we had a front row seat every night on our side of the island. :)
