Da: Lad os se, hvad der sker!"
En: Let's see what's happening!"

Da: sagde han med et glimt i øjet.
En: he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Da: Mette, der havde deres rejseplan sirligt organiseret i sin notesbog, sukkede.
En: Mette, who had their travel itinerary neatly organized in her notebook, sighed.

Da: "Vi skulle egentlig besøge kirken i dag," svarede hun, men fulgte alligevel efter ham.
En: "We were actually supposed to visit the church today," she replied, but she followed him anyway.

Da: Da de nærmede sig, opdagede de, at folk omkring dem var smurt ind i tomater.

En: "We can't miss this!"

Da: Mette rynkede på næsen.
En: Mette wrinkled her nose.

Da: "Vi bliver beskidte.
En: "We'll get dirty.

Da: Og det er måske ikke så sjovt, som det ser ud," sagde hun forsigtigt.
En: And it might not be as fun as it looks," she said cautiously.

Da: Jens tog hendes hånd og sagde: "Kom nu.
En: Jens took her hand and said, "Come on.

Da: Lad os få lidt spontan sjov."
En: Let's have some spontaneous fun."

Da: Modvilligt gik Mette ind i mængden sammen med Jens.

Da: Snart fløj de første tomater gennem luften og ramte dem begge.
En: Soon, the first tomatoes flew through the air and hit them both.

En: Later, as they sat at a café overlooking the shimmering sea, they decided to blend planning with a little spontaneous fun for the rest of their trip.

Da: De skålede i brusende, kølig limonada og skabte minder, der strakte sig langt ud over deres nøje udførte rejseplan.
En: They toasted with sparkling, cool lemonade and created memories that extended far beyond their carefully crafted itinerary.
