Day 12 - Wed 19th January - sightseeing

There is so much to see around Denmark.  Today we do the Tree Top Walk which is pretty awesome.  $25 for the whole family, which we think is good value. We do wonder how Cody is going to go but as it is a gradual incline to the highest point, he seems to cope much better.  Certainly not for anyone who doesn't like heights as it is a bit creepy, the kids get great pleasure out of trying to "rock the boat".  I am pretty glad to get to the bottom.  The kids love the "Tingle Forest" we get to walk through afterwards.  The bases of these massive trees are hollow, pretty amazing.
  
Yes, and once again, your only way out is through the gift shop.  The kids are busting to spend some money, so they have some serious budgeting issues to work through before making their purchases.

Next stop "Conspicuous beach" a nice corrugated road, tonnes of steps at the beach, only to lead us to an awesome surfing beach but way too dangerous for these little black ducks!!!  However, never fear, great dunes!!!!  so the boogy boards become sand surfers down the dunes....great fun.

We then head to Peaceful Bay where swimming lessons are being conducted.  A beautiful spot for snorkeling and leisurely swimming, I am impressed but the rest of the family needs "waves".

Then we head to "Dinosaur world" $35 for the whole family, well worth it.   Lots of Dinosaur skeletons but not nearly as interesting as all the reptiles behind glass.  It is also a bird park and many of the birds, both native and exotic, are just sitting on the outside of their cages happy for a feed and a scratch.  This is just fantastic for the kids and we could stay with the birds all day.  But then, reptile handling, yes, they bring out a number of snakes and bearded dragons to be held.  The kids just love it.  I think Shannae could have been Bindi Irwin!!, she just couldn't get enough of them.  It totally freaks me out seeing the kids with snakes slithering all over them.  I will have nightmares tonight!!!


Last stop for the day the "Ducketts Mills Winery and Ice-creamery".  My kind of tourist attraction!!! The kids get a tub of ice-cream to share and a cheese platter and wine for the parents.  And there is a big grassed area for the kids to run around on.  The car park I think, but hey, dodging cars makes it much more fun!!!!
