It's always difficult to leave welcoming warmshower hosts. Therefore, we left Flensburg just before noon, with a beautiful sun (but a chilly wind) !
Franziska, Klaus, thank you ! |
A lady on her bike guided us outside of the city : quite helpfull and spontaneus !
This is it, we're in Denmark, and the coins are different ! We need to learn again a few words of vocabulary for all our minimalistic german knowledge is now useless. However, many danish people understand and speak english !
The wind with us, we go fast on these highway-like bike lanes along main roads through a colza, pine and gentle hill landscape.
We have an expensive night in our first (and probably last) "elite" camping, the view being as nice as the beach is narrow.
The next day, we start to deal with Denmark's legendary hills, quite gentle inland but really steep on the coast.
Having time and not being lost, Kolding's fully pedestrian downtown (as in Germany) is getting our attention for a while.
A small word about countryside's danish churches : in good shape, their garden is better maintained than Versailles' one, toilets are clean, disabled-compatible, and supplied with soap & paper. Of course, there's a water tap outside with well stored watering cans.
We felt guilty not following even a bit, this national bike route number 5 along the coast, but had regrets starting to follow it. Although forests are beautiful, but our tandem is unable to go on these mountain bike tracks. So we pushed it to escape from this trap...
We settled another time for a wild camping night in a small wood full of birds. No storm in sight, but it rains for a part of the night, droplets not even making their way through the dense foliage to the ground !
Ghost bike |
Some wet roads lead us to Aarhus, where we spend some time eating a burger and enjoying a free wifi connection.
Then we look for our warmshower, living at about 10km from downtown. A nice but hilly bike path leads us through a marsh filled with migratory birds.
Kevin and his family warmly welcome us and we spend a nice evening around a good meal.
After such a headwind, eyelips close by themselves.
