I stopped off there en route to Sweden. Nice but not as good as I thought it might be. Entirely possible though that I needed more time to see what else there was to see. I managed the harbour area and Tivoli gardens.

Much better place IMO is Stockholm. Spent this weekend there with Mrs Dave who flew over (I picked her up at the airport as I'm over here already with my car). Got a fab hotel by a lake. Has a bus stop nearby to get into town or it's about 35 mins walk. Also has an airport bus stop very close, so you wouldn't need a car at all. Restaurant has food to die for, but at £90 for our meal on Friday I think my wallet died also!

Stockholm has a lovely old town, and plenty of boat trips either around the city or out into the archipelago. Lots of stuff to see and do.

Yeah...about that food...Disney area (within car distance - hotels right within Disney are more expensive although probably worth it if you don't want to rent the car)...is FULL of buffets...so let's see...it would be about...$14 per person all you can eat...which is what now? -5 pounds???

About 8 pounds. I think even at its lowest the US$ was only down to about 2 dollars to the pound. Current rate is about 1.86 which does make US holidays very cheap for us Brits.

Of course, I was kidding...but hey...it's a standing joke with me and I have to stop re-using it cause no longer funny apparently...

And it's easy to figure out things for you cause you see the same more or less prices...you just kinda have to divide it by 2...was much harder for my pea brain when I've realized that I actually have to multiply it...last time I was in England pound was something like $2.20
