... he only went round the corner! We gave him 20,000 and walked away, luckily he didn’t follow us…for long! Sailors Club was on the beach so we got a table and all sat round with drinks, some Swedish men came over with a bottle of vodka, strange ...

Day four I walked up to Esbjergs famous big white statues by the beach, passing a memorial statue on the way remembering sailors killed in the war I think. These were miles from anywhere, and quite a long walk, but really worth it, especially the massive ...
