Hopefully the last day in Denmark
... of a brief interlude where we braved the elements and went for a walk on the beach, we didn’t leave the boat. I spent a goodly chunk of time catching up with the blog and after dinner of oven-baked pork chops and potatoes, we watched an episode of ‘The Killing’ and retired to bed, hoping that the wind dies and that we can cross over to Sweden in the ...
