So now off to see more of Denmark. We set off from Copenhagen driving across Zealand to the bridge that connects to the next major island, Funen. The bridge is quite spectacular, 18km with a suspension bridge across the shipping channel to a small island and then piled road bridge to the other end. Cost was also a spectacular £25, but cheaper than the ferry would be. The roads are good in Denmark, major arteries are motorway with 70 to 80 mph limits and are fre...

Sue kindly gave up her time to show us the sights of Copenhagen on a really hot sunny Friday. First stop was the famous Little Mermaid (which really is little) surrounded by tourists from the cruise ships that moor up nearby. The harbour front & dockside are lovely to walk along & have been modernised since the ships/ferries have been moved out of the city. It was strange to see the locals sunbathing on the piers in the middle of the city (don’t think w...

A couple of hours drive past Hamburg brought us to Puttgarden on the north German coast. From here we took the ferry to Rodby on the south Danish coast.

After a good night on the ferry we arrived in Holland at about 8 am on Tuesday the 11th. The traffic from the port to Rotterdam was just like a constant M25, bloody busy. Masses of HG’s.

We’d been unable to ...

Drove from the Island to Harwich in the rain. Good to get the bad weather out of the way? Met up with Radka for dinner which was great, we haven’t met for at least five years. But with good friends you can just fall back in step as if you saw each other yesterday. Then the overnight ferry to Holland. Penthouse en-suite cabin overlooking the front of the ship. We were asleep before the ship left port! Cx Vx
