Day Ten Friday 29th July


G had an early morning walk, and then we whiled away the morning with a leisurely breakfast and time on the fast internet connection in the comfortable clubhouse before setting off. We have now left Jutland behind -  with some sadness. It has been lovely - and crossed by bridge to the middle bit of Denmark, Funen. The countryside is quite different, very rolling and green, and the villages and towns look more like communities than the predominantly holiday places we saw around the Jutland coast.
We are now in one of 6 spaces reserved for campervans  in the harbour at Faaborg, on the south coast, where we can look across to the " unmissable and unpronounceable " island of Aeron - this is where I wish that I had followed G's example and discovered a Danish keyboard which includes all their odd vowels. Anyway, we shall be missing out on a trip there - even 11 weeks doesn't allow time for everything!
We have had a wander around the  very attractive town. Lots of pretty, brightly coloured alleyways and cobblestones. The weather is still very pleasant, and the town square restaurants were already buzzing with people sitting outside to eat. We also managed to find a stationers where we bought an A4 binder and pockets so that we can rescue the pages of our precious Camperstop book which are already falling out through overuse.
It has been interesting to discover how popular Midsomer Murders is over here. Yesterday a Swedish chap told us how he had been to England and visited " all the important places. Oxford, London and Midsomer Murders country". He was particularly proud of the fact that he had enjoyed a drink in the pub where "Commissaire Barnaby " drank.
