From Wyona
Today we spent the day in Denmark, going to the tip of Denmark where the Baltic Sea meets the Northern Sea. The tip of Denmark is becoming larger as time passes. Our bus went to a parking lot where we picked up the 'Sandormen', a trolley car which is pulled by a tractor. The ride is very bouncy and very noisy. The Sandormen takes people out to the tip of the sandbar where one can walk of the tip of the sandbar out to the point where the two seas meet. It was a fascinating experience.
There were two baby seals laying on the sandbar doing a few tricks for the tourists. The seals were absolute hits.
As I was walking I had to examine the weeds and any shells, very few of them and one small rock. I did manage to find a razor mollusc shell and one black rock with a grey centre in it. I like to put rocks in my world rock collection at Shuswap.
There is no swimming allowed on the sandbar because it is too dangerous. A hundred years ago there were many shipping accidents at this place. This is the first light house that was built to warn ships of the dangers in these waters.
We then toured around Skagen to view the typical yellow houses found there.
Greg came upon a Schmidt residence.
Tomorrow Norway.

Is that your ship that I see in the far right hand horizon of the first picture?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the baby seals and the yellow houses. Don't you live in one when you are home, though perhaps not typical in the Danish way?
Yes, that is our ship, Vision of the Seas.
