13/14 July down the other side to Mariager Fjord

-
We started the day with a wander to the beach behind Reggie , it was lovely and warm and the sand is so white and fine it is like powder.


 ready for the beach
 We had thought about getting the ferry to Goteborg but the cost was really high unless you went at midnight so we decided to see more of Denmark and are now going down the East side having gone right to the top via the west side.

We stopped at Frederikshavn and yes there were bunker and they still had the guns in some of them. It was properly curated rather than just bunkers in the sand.
Perry might be a bit tall

they might be a bit big for the toy car
We then carried on down the scenic route crossing over one of the fjords on a ferry, was a surprise the satnav said turn left and get on ferry....We were lucky it was in port had room for us and was only £5.

We arrived at our site in yet another marina ( they are so well set up for visiting boaties that adding a flat space and more electricity for motorhomes is a no brainer)

This one has the lighthouse in the middle of the park right behind reggie. and the marina is in front so we have an uninterrupted view.

Today we went for a bike ride into the town and visited the salt shop ( yes they collect it from the fjord and dry it here)
they have piles of salt on the rubbish bins
The queue for the ice cream was longer than the one for salt.

the marina provide picnic tables and lots of families used them today
no idea what is says....
these sheds are holiday homes/ cabins

maybe a corgi
the foal needs to grow a longer mane to grow out its mohawk

  In NZ it is the 19th August so happy birthday dad. We cycled to Mont st Michel this morning but the tide was still out so didnt take any more photos. 10km cycle ride later we filled the van with water and headed away.  We are now in Bouzouges in a really nice spot with plants all around and only 3 of us here. We went for a walk about the town classes as a Petite ville de France  which I guess means its a cute little village , and it is. We went to the information centre and a really helpful chap gave us guides for Brittany ( where are there now ) and a walking tour of the town. Which we did.   amazing amount of public planting  a rather nice painting putting all the oldest houses in the same street, there are tomatoes and aubergines growing in the garden rather odd things hanging on the side of the church quite an arty town the tour book said these are death masks of men executed in the town an interesting use of old drink bottles, each one has a plant in...

Hi all We are now ready to move. we had planned to settle here and buy a house but have now decided to retire in NZ in a couple of year but before then to do a lot more travel. On our last trip our car blew a head gasket on the autostrada in Italy and we had to scrap it over there, we have had no vehicle for 10 months but really haven't missed it. we commute on the train to work. and take a taxi home from the station if it rains. We have looked at a car staying in hotels, or using our tent or buying a campervan or a motorhome. We looked at every option and went to two camper/motorhome shows. what we  found was that P is too tall to see out the windscreen and too long for the beds...... Until we came across the Hymer, the bed is always made up and drops down from above the drivers seats and the view from the windscreen is panoramic. It looks big but is only 6m long so the same as a long wheel base van and doesn't add extra cost for ferries and the chunnel. It had th...
