Day Four Saturday 23rd July

Today from rural idyll to semi-urban stop. We have secured a place in a Campervanstop for 25  vans within walking distance of the town centre of Ribe, having driven up the west coast of Jutland and done a detour around the island of Romo accessed via a causeway. Romo is clearly THE place to head to on a hot summer Saturday, with massive sands, and a large Butlinesque campsite. It also has woods and cycle tracks, and a large, new and very impressive Camperstop , where all 50+ places were taken. But our urban facility is free,and even has a loo and camper service station, with water, etc.. We plan to head into town to explore before supper, to plan what to see there tomorrow.
I was just congratulating myself on a first - having washed  my hair in the camper- when I realised that the tap from the waste water tank was not fully turned off and the water had shot all over the Tarmac just where the next door campers would step in and out of their door. A big breach of campervanning etiquette I fear. I managed to apologise in their native German and was told it was not a problem!

I am very much enjoying reading "The year of living Danishly" recommended by Bristol friends. I guess it would be as well received here as "A year in Provence" was there, but it is very informative as well as entertaining, even if the author is a bit irritating. Would you really set off to live in another country without even a few very basic words and phrases? She and her husband move to Jutland when he is offered a job with Lego. Billand , the Lego Kingdom, is not very far from where were now.
