Not at All as Hoped For
The brochure said I'd need to be able to walk on cobblestones, need to be able to embark/disembark from a bus. It did not say that there'd be EXTENSIVE slanting walks on pea gravel or that one day when I could not take a taxi to keep up with the group,I'd be subjected to the Bataan Death March. I ended up skipping 2+ days of the tour and hanging out on my own. The menu given for the Tivoli Garden dinner was - for me - a bust: white asparagus season was past (as you should've checked out) and for that teensy squab to have died for me to have 3 Tbl of meat and 2 Tbl of stuffing was a crime; and the restaurant was next to the outside bandstand, which made conversation impossible one their noise began. The waitresses must've had to pay for bread and butter from their own pockets, as we practically had to beg for bread and butter. Forget that place! What happened on two previous AHI trips happenened again: people in pairs or couples made NO effort to get to know me, which resulted in my spending much solo time getting to know the locals, which was very rewarding. The trip highlight for me was the trip to Aeroskobing, where the visits to the brewery, which gave us the best meal of the trip, and to the soap factory, were wonderful. I liked the island so much that Iwouldn't mind living there, if I could tackle the language. Our dinner there at the hotel of free-range chicken was terrific. Our bus driver was lousy, alternately hitting the gas- and brake-pedals, and not being able to execute smooth turning. He slammed into gear Once, before I was seated, he slammed into gear, resulting in a hard whack to my knee, which took days to calm down. Also, he was so weird about our using the toilet on the bus - we didn't know it was there until the last 2 days - that I ended up someplace peeing under a tree.
