It's a strange land, we also found that we only paid 36 Euro for 35 liters of Euro95 at a gas station in Blavand

That's because the petrol contains very little water.

Wish we had that price - last time I refueled the car it cost me £1.95/l: €2.25!

Luckily I managed to get back home in the Netherlands on one tank of gas, thanks to my new Skoda Fabia.
As the prices in Germany are very high at the moment, it makes no sense to tank in Germany anymore for us.
Strange times indeed!

My last gas stop cost me $12.32 (US) for 11.8 liters ($1.04/l). Of course the last time this car saw a gas pump was May 6th.

I refuelled at Asda in Watford today at 168.7p/l, smirking that just literally across the road in Sainsbury it was 169.9p/l. That saved me over 10 bob in "real" money.
Then I drove to Aylesbury where it was 153.9p/l. 
Seems to be heading in the right direction for a change!

Sounds like Denmark hasn't changed much since I was there in late 1980's. I working on a job for a German company, when everyone wanted to go to Bang and Olufsen show in Denmark. We drove to the Denmark border at about 160kph where the speed dropped to 60kph. It felt quite strange. The pizza lunch was not cheap but it was far superior to any in Northern Europe. Curiously, all the American video movies being played on their video gear did not have sub-titles. They said it was cheaper and everyone in Denmark understood English. My German co-workers said they wished they could live and work in Denmark because the quality of life was better (much slower).

Denmark always make me think of the good old days in the Netherlands when things were more relaxed.

Are you in Amsterdam?

Near Amsterdam in the province of Flevoland which lies central in the Netherlands.
It also has nice tulip fields in the summer time

Serious inquiry here: How much of this went to the government and how much went to the restaurant?

I wonder how much of the rest of the barnyard he found in there.

For all those who the have the royal connection, it's transition not so well understood by us American's. However, we understand and sympathize. May god bless.

It's very simple.
His Royal Highness Charles, the Prince of Wales, became King Charles III the moment Queen Elizabeth II died. Everyone else in the family moves up one rung.
There are many formalities, including a coronation, yet to be arranged, but that's the gist.

ummm no. The line of succession is re-evaluated. One of the delightful complexities of the arcane system.
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

Which in this case just happens to result in everyone moving up one rung. The line of succession is now:
Prince William (now Prince of Wales)
Prince William's children
Prince Harry
Prince Harry's children
...
There is no need to make things more complicated than they are.

It's really simple:Mort - Terry Pratchett The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

And in order to reduce the chance of a republicon (AKA a commoner) intercepting the kingon/queon, the heir must be present at the reigning monarch's death bed.

Love the "Discworld" reference.
Also, I heard Donald Trump was threatening to overturn the Monarchy, if they did not crown him, King.
