We got a little help from a friend today, Martin came to get the toilet going again, retrieve our wet clothes from the washer and connect the dishwasher to the drain. (Danish appliances have baffled us a bit)
But before all of that, we got into our little Fiat and headed to the closest town, Odense, home of Hans Christian Andersen. We made a round-about tour of the city and ended up at HC Andersen's house. Saw a spindle just like the one I have in my suitcase (well mine's a bit smaller)
We had lunch at a little outdoor cafe. Decided to share a sandwich when we saw the prices. Two beers, one sandwich (a very good one, by the way) cost 220 Krona. Whew, that translates into $44.00. As everyone will tell you, Denmark is expensive. We have curbed our costs by shopping in the local market, having coffee, toast and yogurt for breakfast, and preparing our own dinner. Sometimes eating on the road for lunch is unavoidable, but we think our budget plan will help curb the pain of the krona.
We continue to have 70 degree days, mosquito nights and many more rolling hills to scale.
Keep in touch with us at our new address in Hedeboerne.
