Nordjylland

Or North Jutland in English.  That's where we are tonight, the very northern part of Denmark. After taking a morning train from Copenhagen to Aalborg, we hopped on a city bus to reach our rental car at the airport. Then, we continued to head even further north.  

Our bed and breakfast is very rural and only about a km from the North Sea, surrounded by sand dunes, horses, the sea and very wooly sheep. This is a sharp contrast from our noisy Copenhagen hotel last night (sirens and a barrage of fireworks).  The wind is relentless here, rolling in from the sea and whistling across the ground, strong and steady with larger gusts quite often.  I imagine that their west wind is a constant visitor here, as many trees lean a good bit to the east. 

We had an awesome dinner of fish (of course), rye bread (a Danish tradition), and yummy desserts at Resturant Llileheden in Hirtshals (http://www.restaurantlilleheden.dk). Everyone drank Carlsburg beer...

Wooly sheep. 'Nuff said.
