Day Thirteen Monday 1st August
Enough relaxing, so we decided to move on, and set off for another interesting sounding open air museum south west of Roskilde. A closed road, and a lengthy diversion through very pleasant countryside, meant that we didn't arrive until lunchtime. After a sandwich in the campervan, the rain started! We also realised that these places are really geared to people wanting to spend the whole day there, which does not fit in with our usual daily schedule, so once again we moved on. We felt no great disappointment, and perhaps have learnt a lesson.
On our way to our overnight destination, not far south of Roskilde, G suddenly turned off the road and stopped in the car park by a church, virtually in the middle of nowhere. One of those delightful unexpected moments - a little gem. The church itself was closed - we have yet to find one open - but the graveyard was beautifully kept and very attractive, walled, and with gravestones enclosed by their own hedges, with flowering bushes and a lovely view of the surrounding countryside from the slightly elevated position. An added bonus was that there was a loo in the car park, which WAS open, spotlessly clean and supplied with all the necessaries.
These country churches are all painted bright white, and look modern, but according to our Danish neighbours they are actually much older than they look, just well maintained, and you need to go inside to appreciate their age!
Tonight we are in an inland countryside location for a change, in the grounds of a private house which does B&B as well as accommodating three campervans. There are chickens, and a peacock. This site was not from our trusty Camperstop book, but from an app called Motorhome Parkings recommended by our Danish neighbours of the last couple of nights, now downloaded. If this site is anything to go by, it is going to prove an excellent addition to our library of resources.
When we arrived there was just one other campervan, but we have since been joined by another, and several vans which have disgorged a number of workmen of various types, all of whom seem to have rooms here. And it looks like we are all sharing one loo/shower room as well. I fear queues!
