This is the first in a series of blog posts documenting our 2023 summer holiday: a wonderful road-trip around Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

Day 1: July 24 2023

Today was the day we set off on our exciting journey across Scandinavia as we left Waddon and flew, via London Heathrow, to Billund in Denmark.

We weighed up all the options about how to get from our pocket of London to Heathrow and in the end decided to drive and leave our car with Maple Parking Meet and Greet, booked via Holiday Extras for about £150. Services like this come with pretty bad reputations but despite that we figured our 19 year old Focus would be safe enough. And thankfully it was.

We were flying to Billund because the starting point for our decision to go to Scandinavia for our holiday was to visit OG Legoland in Billund. So our round trip starts and ends in Billund – with Legoland as the grand finale.
