First corrections from yesterday – it’s the arts and crafts movement I liked at the museum and we saw a pantomime at Tivoli – and that’s what I get for typing while tired!<\/p>\n
The forecast for today was rain. We’ve been really lucky with the weather all week; even when the forecast says rain showers it’s been dry. But today’s forecast was grim. So we slept in. When we got up it was still raining but not hard and by the time we headed out it was down to a drizzle. So we walked up the shopping street and found somewhere for breakfast. It was a bakery, where the tour buses stop, but it was very good. Joe got pancakes and fruit, they were what I would call crepes but served with a huge stack of fruit and looked very good. I got eggs and bacon and it was far too much food – wish I’d got the fruit! But the bread was wonderful. We then headed for the train station by way of the Art and Christmas shop (nifty place). We got it just right, he was getting ready to close as his son is graduating as an MD. We then got to the train station where we got in the slowest queue (of course) to get our tickets to Esbjerg. We are off tomorrow for Esbjerg and the ferry back to Harwich and that is now all sorted.<\/p>\n
Then a walk back to the National Museum where we did the ‘Stories from Denmark’ exhibit. Really interesting, just\u00a0everyday\u00a0items from Denmark from 1600 to today. And toys! And doll houses!<\/p>\n
Now we’re just having a rest day. Our feet are sore and we’re tired and it’s grey and damp out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
