Our first visit in Denmark

During this first month we had got the time to enjoy Denmark and made some visits.

As we have a car it’s easier to move. So we try to discover as much it is possible.

So we went to the Lindholm Hoje in the north of Aalborg. It is a Vikings sanctuary. When we went there, there was a lot of snow so we didn’t see very well the different form draw by the stones. But the place was very nice. There is a museum on there but we were afraid that all the explanations will be in Danish so we didn’t go on it. 

Also when our French friends come from Horsens for one week-end, we decided to go on the most Northeast point in Denmark, in Skagen. 

Skagen is the place where the North Sea on the left join the Baltic sea on the right. When you arrive there, you park your car and after you have to walk on the beach around 30 minutes in order to enjoy the view. It was nice even if the sun was missing. But I think that we will go again in April perhaps.

Oh and when we were walking next to the sea we saw something moving on it.  It was a curious seal. He just stayed to look at what we were doing here and dived and came back… So amazing to see a real seal other than in a zoo.

To continue to explore the coast, on a sunny day we decided to discover Hals, a small city in the East coast just above the Fjord. 

So we had a walk along the sea. It was beautiful because with the high freezing wind the seaside was frozen. It is rare to see salted water frozen and very beautiful to see seashell stranded on ice. After that we went on the harbor to enjoy the sun again. And we took some rest on the only pub of the city. On there, the time seemed to be stop. It was decorated with old stuff, and everybody inside was smoking. And when we ordered a coffee, the bartender brought us a coffee thermos bottle. It was a very familiar atmosphere. And the people seemed very surprise to meet tourist during this season, and we began to talk with them. It was very nice.

And to conclude the day we sat in front of the sea to admire the beautiful sunset.

That's it ... for the moment !
