Day Seven Tuesday 26th July

One good reason for keeping a blog is to keep track of the days, which is already getting difficult. We have managed to download the Times most days so far, (and also to find showers on all but one day, sometimes unexpectedly, as at tonight's stop of which more later.)

We decided not to brave Aalburg, Denmark's fourth largest city, but made for the Viking Burial site Lindholm Hoje, just north of it. As well as the extensive area of burial mounds ranged over the hillside, there were two exhibitions, one of life in the village to which the burial site had been attached, and the other about early Viking history around the local fjord area generally. Although there are Viking museums everywhere, I suspect that this is THE one to visit - but I expect we shall visit others in the weeks ahead.

We arrived at today's Camperstop destination just after 4 pm, ready to settle down with a cup of tea or two, and are still the only camper here, at 6pm. This may be because it costs less if you are just here between 8pm and 10 am, so perhaps we shall have company later. There is room for 6.
We are at a quiet little harbour at Egense, where we have paid the Harbourmaster in the Harbourmaster's house., the downstairs of which is a clubhouse for those moored up here - and us! The area around us is very open and green.There are loos and showers, which, like those at Logstor last night, are obviously provided for the moored boats as well as for those parking here to walk and cycle. Apart from bikes for hire, and ice creams for sale, and a small children's playground, there is nothing else here. There are plenty of picnic tables and chairs though, and some barbecues. The Danes are very generous with their picnic tables, and loos, in lay-bys all very nicely laid out, too.
