Our first Danish, Danish

Today is Sunday in Denmark. We visited two little sea side towns, walked around, ate wonderful danish and enjoyed another rare, fall, warm day. By looking at these photos, can you see

anything strange about our day?

If not, take a closer look.

First, as expected, the Danish, Danish are sweet, buttery,
fresh from the oven and just about perfect.





We decided to take a scenic harbor cruise and waited, and waited and double checked the sign and waited a little longer. Then realized there is no tour today. Turns out, the tour stops running for the season in September, no matter how nice the weather is in October. I am sure a few old timers had a good laugh watching us wait and ponder for a good half-hour.


So, we decide to take a stroll through Svendborg and catch the later ferry to Aeroskobing (I pronounce it Arrow-sko-bing, which is so wrong I hope none of our Danish friends are reading this). Svendborg was beautiful, warm, on the ocean, but the strange thing about our day was the fact that we saw no one. The streets were empty. An occasional motor cycle would pass, but the restaurants, shops, tourist information, all of it, closed down. We kept thinking that everyone knew something that we just didn't know and that any minute, around any turn, we would see people. Nope. No one.


So we got on the ferry, had a glorious hour cruise over to Aeroskobing, loads of sail boats out, little races were happening, 2 guys were doing jet ski acrobatics off the wake of the big ferry. We loved it, just what we were hoping for.

We got off at Aeroskobing which is a very, very old sailing village. Some houses dating back to 1500's. And once again, we were met with completely empty streets. As Gene said, "You could shoot a canon off and no one would even hear it, much less be hit". So we took Rick Steves tour, enjoyed the island by ourselves, found an open grocery store and bought some cheese, wine and crackers and had a picnic at the marina.

So, we spent a rather strange Sunday visiting two lovely little towns by ourselves.


Whatever, we had a great, warm day on the sea and got to enjoy these little towns undisturbed by anyone.

Alone, together....

I had to use the gorilla pod to take our photo.
