We haven't blogged for a while but now we had a blazing hot afternoon sunbathing on some rocks as the sea washes gently onto the shore of a cute Swedish bay the spirit returns. Yes we're in another country - we have done Denmark. Or more precisely Jutland. Many of you may be under the impression that our trip has been undiluted fun. Let me assure you that blood, sweat and even tears have made their appearance - and the section down from Skagen to Grenaa was cold and wet at times. The last day was interesting as we appeared to be passing through the Danish version of Sandringham - all massive houses, forests with signs with crowns and what we assume were the words "keep out" , the pictures of men with rifles may be a clue.
The last day of cycling we whistled down the coast, another 100km day, but this time with hills and rain. Feeling very proud of ourselves we went to get the ferry only to find it doesn't run on Saturdays! So we holed up in a hytten or a "shed with a bed" to you, whacked up the heating and gorged ourselves on wine, strawberries and chocolate
But that's behind us. Sweden is a different landscape - rolling hills and people who work out. Yesterday we cycled 30 kms into the hills in blazing sunshine to take tea by an idyllic lake. Today the idyllic bay. I think you can say so far so good.
