‘Welcome to the Legoland Hotel!’ the tall, broad, blond-haired receptionist beams as we check in.
- Role: setting
- In the book: After a snowy night arrival the couple check into the themed hotel at Legoland. They are offered the Princess Suite (castle-turret headboard, bunk beds) and end up in the Pirate Suite, where the first night in Denmark is spent beneath a giant Jolly Roger. Breakfast brings their first pickled herring.
- Why it matters: A short comic first-night scene that sets the tone of absurd culture shock. It is minor in plot terms; its importance is as the opening of the January chapter.
