Malcolm finds me in the middle of the maze at the castle - he stuck to his theory of only turning right, I went through a hole!

Back to Denmark

Today we drove to Malmo where there is a bridge from Sweden to Denmark.  Amazing to be out there with ships and also wind turbines.

We drove across Zealand and across the bridge to Funen (that we crossed going the other way a few weeks ago).  This is also very long.  On Funen  we went to a castle called Egeskov built in 1554.  This place had huge formal gardens, mazes, a moat, museums and you could go into a lot of rooms in the castle.  We were there about 5 hrs, had (expensive) lunch at the restaurant and pretty much looked at everything except not all the museums.

Then we drove to the edge of Funen and took a ferry to the Jutland peninsula quite close to the German border.  This crossing took about 1 hr.  (Every time we go on a ferry our car alarm goes off!  We unlock the car from a distance then it stops and we just look innocent!)  We camped close to where the ferry comes in at a beachfront campsite.  Back to good old Denmark of the immaculate camp sites and wine in the supermarkets! 

The weather is much better now we are further south.  T- shirt weather from dawn till dusk though probably only about 22 degrees.
