S o l v a n g

 We stopped over for a night at Solvang, a city where its architecture facades and buildings reflect traditional Danish style. 
 Tivoli Square
  The prominent Hamlet Square windmill  
 Isn't the building pretty, but why a yellow hydrant?
 Wide angle view
 
Place for rent. A Starbucks perhaps? Nah...it would ruin the image of Solvang
Smell of butter cookies laced the air. The city has many bakeries & restaurants offering a taste of Denmark here.
 Not forgetting traditional knits, in time for the Christmas season.
And toys for the children

Solvang is a pretty place, with its impressive looking buildings and quaint shops. Unfortunately, we found it too quiet. There was hardly any locals, let alone tourists on the streets. It could be an off-peak period that we visited. Even then, the restaurants or shops were hardly opened. We have to drive out of Solvang to get our meals once night come. Pity.

And another travel trip awaiting....
