Denmark

As soon as we were across the border the roads got quiet and pretty rural compared to the (expanding) German motorways. Wet to the west coast of Denmark to the town of Ribe. Very well preserved town that was established hundreds of years ago. Long harbour that was a glorified big wall with water on the other side, but very pretty, full of wee boats. The bakeries are amazing and full of wonderful pastries. So much for the diet!! After Ribe we thought we would do the original Legoland, treat for the boys after rushing them through the first bit. The heavens opened and the rain was torrential for the two days we were there. Went swimming at an incredible pool, eyewateringly expensive, had the most amazing series of flumes and tubes and my favourite the outside hot tub/jacuzzi that you swam into. Freezing cold rain on your face, but toasty eveywhere else!
Moved on to Silkeborg and saw the Tollund man! Highlight for me. Some of the antiquities on display were pretty impressive too. Then travelled up to National Park just south of Aalborg and stayed overnight.
Back on the road to Hirtshals in the north for the ferry to Norway.
