Today, we are staying in Saeby, over on the east coast. Compared to the wild and churning west coast, thie sea here is like a swimming pool. A very cold swimming pool. Saeby is charming, and we are in the shoulder season so it is deserted. We are staying at Aahoj B&B (http://aahoj.dk) on a quiet stream in the town, just next to the shopping area, walkable to everything. It is also sunny here, a very nice change. I took the opportunity to dust off my running shoes and was lucky enough to find a huge hilltop park and woods. Single and double track wound through miles of old forests. I saw hardly anyone. So peaceful. Of course, being at sea level makes me feel like wonder woman and I cranked out ten miles before I knew what happened. It felt great.
Yesterday we visited and hiked to the Rubjerg Knude lighthouse, it is slowly being eaten away and covered by shifting sand dunes, http://rubjergknude.dk/engelsk/visit-us/. Also, we had dinner within Evald and his girlfriend. Visiting with family again was fantastic.
The rest of the buildings are already buried.
Tom and I ran up the biggest sand dune to snap this pic. It was cold, rainy and very very windy.
Today on the way to Saeby we stopped at Viking burial circles outside of Aalborg. Very interesting. Oh, and we found a killer Danish bakery and discovered that the treats that are sold by the Danish bakery back home really ARE legit Danish pastries. Good to know.
Burial circles.
Boats on the beach near Lonstrup. They haul them up out of the sea with a big wench.
Tomorrow we head to Skagen and dip our ties into two very cold seas at one time!
