Monday June 11th 2018 Skivern Well, the weather had to break, and it did so in some style. From about midday on Sunday, for maybe 6-7hours it rained. To hard but steadily and we had to retreat inside. Then the wind began, not hard at first but slowly picking up, rattling the van and causing the awning to make unwanted noises. So we battened it down as best we could, sat inside and read. Such a pity that after two weeks of warmth and sunshine we should meet th...

Friday 8 June Skiveren So today we left Aarhus. The camp site was fine, but we had been subjected to, in the sense that it was happening beside us, a battle royal between 3 Hooded Crows.

The buildings look indeed of some form of renovation, the entrance is rather less than imposing...

Wednesday 6 June Aarhus Today was culture day. That is, we were going to visit a city and see art, and the culture of a city. But it all began on a bus. Now, as we all know buses in different cities and countries have their own way of working. And taking your money. In Aarhus one buys one's ticket on the bus, in a slot machine for your approximate destination or how many zones you need to cross. You need the right coins as well. Bus arrives, and chaos ensues as...
