Sun - Sea - Sand and Cake.
Distance: 147 miles
Our only full day in denmark started with fantastic sunshine and a walk around Vourdingbourg before we headed off on our way to our mid afternoon date with the wedding planners and their new arrival.
We had good time and relatively speaking not all that far to go so we headed onto backroads towards the west coast of Sjælland in search of a beach. It's the Norwegian way, if the suns shining and you're near the sea then you go swimming.
Here's a photo to prove that, as much as I was enjoy our only day without the car laden by luggage, I didn't do all the driving. Here's Mrs VL in overdrive top at approximately 11:05 in the morning. If I'd ever got round to setting the steering wheel straight we'd maybe even know how fast she was driving! I'd extimate about 53Mph.
Anyway, we did find a beach, we did swim (which was splendidly refreshing), we did play frisbee and here's a sight that you don't see to often. An white, sunbathing English man. I think you can see that this is one body that doesn't see the sun too often.
Shortly after our beach visit came one of the few occasions that the bonnet was opened. Don't panic though, it was only whilst we gave the car a thorough and badly needed clean before we arrived, almost bang on time, at the wedding helpers. Here we said hello to a their very peaceful and sweet young son and admired a patch of missing paving slabs (quite an achievement, I'll tell you).
As you can see, we were offered (and ate (in my case)) a very good selection of Danish cakes.
It was top up on the way back to the expensively mediocre hotel as there was the threat of rain. This didn't materialise until later. When it came it really came and we were glad the car was under cover. That was the end of the sunshine, the wipers were on for the rest of the trip.
