We are in Denmark
|
Woke this morning to hear cows mooing in the distance, this
has been such a great spot to camp. But we had no sooner started driving this
morning, than the heavens opened and Sweden sent us on our way with pouring
rain. Boarded the ferry at Helsingborg in the rain and ended up siting in our
van, like everyone else, and twenty minutes later we had arrived in Helingsor,
didn’t even realise we had been moving! And the rain had stopped. Welcome to
Denmark!!!
We certainly noticed that we were in a different country, a
real change in the architecture and noticed the roads a bit narrower and certainly
more cars. Planned to head around the northern coast of the eastern peninsula and
soon stopped in a parking area overlooking the ocean and across to Sweden. It
felt so nice to be at a beach again and to hear the sound of waves.
The drive through to Tisvilde was very picturesque, small
beachside villages with people out walking and small shops all open, even on a
Sunday, which was not the case in Sweden and Norway. There was a really great
atmosphere. And everywhere people were out on their bikes along the bike paths.
Stopped to pick up a few supplies and surprised to once again see alcohol on
the shelves of the supermarket.
Arrived at the huge carpark beside an ocean beach that we
had found on Park4Night and what a great spot, parked with the ocean 30 metres
in front of us. The day is very overcast so not huge numbers of people here
although have seen a number of hardy souls in swimming and quite a few kite
surfers. Went for a walk up to the
village, past a number of thatched roof houses and checked out a few local
galleries, but saw the weather closing in so scurried back to the van just as
the rain came in, but it didn’t last for long and it is clear again. There are many wild rugosa roses around and
can’t get over the size of the rose hips, they really look good and guess you
can make rose hip syrup from them. Tonight, we will sleep with the sound of the
ocean, perfect.
Interesting Vicki and Jen with your comments about the
wooden fences in Sweden, today we have noticed a different type of wooden fence
once again using thinning’s of young trees. Actually, can’t see why both of
these fences couldn’t be built in NZ, there is plenty of rain here too!!!
