It's weird it's only a one day trip!

Princess Robijn · #3 02-21-2010, 06:28 AM

Actually, the calender ends at March 4, so it is possible there are more events in Mexico, or maybe a holiday.

i verified and it seems that marie speaks some spanish (official webpage), so maybe that was the reason she was chosen to attend this visit. maybe we will hear her speak a bit (perhaps in one of the speeches?)

There wasn't much time left, on Monday evening, March 1st, they attended
an event in Copenhagen (see their current events thread), if you add the
time they needed for travelling, there's only one complete day they could
have spent for some little holidays..

Ccile · #12 03-05-2010, 02:35 AM

They are just back from their ski holidays so I guess they got tanned from the mountains!

**iceflower** · #13 03-05-2010, 08:37 AM

I think so as well, Ccile!

Here's an article with very nice pics from the lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel, Mexico City:

:P You are right, I didn't have that in mind

carlota · #15 03-05-2010, 02:26 PM

apparently the queen herself appears in the film, the wild swans, as an extra... :)

Quote:

Los príncipes Joaquín y Marie aprovecharán su estancia para asistir al estreno del filme, en el que la soberana danesa aparece también en una cortísima escena como figurante.

thanks for the pictures of the visit! i can't wait to see them visiting the pyramids.

i really liked the pictures of joachim and marie in the bikes touring around the city! the programme seems to be quite an interesting culturally orientated one and the casa luis barragan looks like a fantastic place. it's great finding travel tips from those of royal trips.
thanks everyone for the links!
