2 mile bridge...

Whit Monday morning disappoints as there is intermittent drizzle. However we set out with a bag of Dorte's scones, still warm from the oven, through countryside still managing to be pretty, including acres of little Christmas trees, a staple crop. By lunch the rain is replaced by sun, drying a wooden bench and table for us to have lunch. There are these picnic spots every few 100 yds in Denmark! Then over the 2 mile bridge again to stay with Tage and Pia once more.


The dining table is installed in their ample glasshouse, where we eat barbecued bratwurst and all sorts of home grown salad, under two grape vines, overlooking the garden, fields and woods beyond in the long sunny evening.
Next morning we are heading south for a ferry to Germany, this time one more to the east, from Gedser to Rostock. The big ferry , full of lorries arrives at 11.00 and departs only 15 minutes later. We are joined by one more bike and a lot of lorries. The 50 mile, two hour crossing costs us about a fiver each - the bikes go free!
