Day Sixteen Thursday 4th August

A quiet night after all. Then off along the coast road, dipping in and out of attractive, bustling holiday towns. Not too bothered about the Gas yet - we assume that we have a couple of weeks to sort it out. Clearly the fridge is using a lot, but even on the occasions when we do have a hookup it doesn't always work adequately on electric.

We have been constantly caught by surprise by the short distances we need to travel in Seeland, which is tiny compared to Jutland, and before we knew it we arrived in Helsinore, to get the ferry across to Helsingborg, in Sweden. A twenty minute crossing provided views from the sea of 'Hamlet's Castle' which we had visited two years ago. Goodbye Denmark!

Sweden already feels very different. Everything seems so much BIGGER! We had got used to Denmark, and were feeling quite settled and at home, and had got the feel of the country. So now, a new adventure.
Tonight we are in a spacious wooded parking area where camping is allowed free, in a nature reserve full of footpaths and cycle ways, adjoining the long sandy beach backed by sand dunes near Angelholme. It is on the way up the west coast as we head towards Norway. Today has been yet another day of alternating showers and bright sunshine, but quite warm. An evening stroll to the beach after supper provided some treats - a rainbow, some naked swimmers emerging from the sea, and the promise of a lovely sunset. G is planning to sleep out under his tarp!
