Train/Bus Schedules

Train and bus tickets can be purchased up to 90 days in advance (i.e. not yet, but soon)

Copenhagen Airport - Blokhus: just under 6 1/2 hours, departs many times throughout the day, price is not listed yet, but will be around $55.00

Blokhus - Frederikshavn (the area where many of our ancestors are from, we can easily spend two days here):
around 2 1/2 hours, tickets cost 72 kr ($13.00)
Tickets from Frederikshavn around to our small towns nearby are around $5 for each ride to Gaerum, Lendum, Elling, Understed

Blokhus - Thisted (the other area where our ancestors are from): 2 1/2 - 3 hours, tickets cost 88 kr ($16)
Thisted to Sennels and Oslos and around to our specific areas will cost around $24 total round trips

I found a 9 passenger van, renting from 28th July through 6th of August (I figure in Copenhagen, we won't need a car),
for $1280 total.
Economy cars are $427. (fit 4 adults)
These prices include everything but gas.

Copenhagen to Blokhus: 284 mi, 4 hours 40 min
Blokhus to Frederikshavn: 60 mi, 1 hr 15 min
Blokhus to Thisted: 50 mi, 1 hr 24 min

It usually takes less time to travel by car than by bus or train, but an international driver's license is required.

According to my calculations, the prices for train travel or renting a car are very close, but I think it all really depends on how much gas really costs there. I will let you know when I find a more definite gas price.

Think about it and please let me know which you are thinking. It will help me plan our days better while we are exploring our ancestor's homes!!!!
