Yes it looks very packed but also quite interesting with different events.
Thanks for the correction.
 
Just read the entire programme and it's indeed some busy days they have in front of them in Mexico... Maybe good it's "only" three days when it's so close after the Australia trip, it may be a bit exhausting with two such extensive trips abroad so close to each other. Hope they take them some relaxing days when they return home ;)

But the program looks very interesting and exciting.
Great that F+M participates in all events together during the trip. They are a good team! And very best when they're together IMO!

BB informing that they now have their journalists and photograph into place in Mexico

That is one seriously big whatever it is!
Do we have a Mexican member who can educate us? :)

BB has more: Varm velkomst til kronprinsparret i Mexico
The two children with Downs Syndrome are Gael and Ivanna.

The Minister for Health, Astrid Krag, accomapny them on this trip as well as representatives for 50 Danish businesses.

They are at the Anthropological Museum - which has one of the most extensive and breathtaking collections of Pre-Columbian art and artifacts in the world. The pillar they are standing in front of is modern and holds up an outdoor roof and I think is part of a fountain as well. But there are some huge ancient sculptures inside the museum such as the famous Olmec heads.
