16 to 18 of July

....and a beautiful story just happened.....

we crossed from Germany to Denmark by ferry. It was quiet late, new country, new learnings. We were looking (again!) for a good place to sleep. As usual, we are being drawn to the water side so going around a lake was the way to go, stopping at small pieces of land here and there and contemplating if we could sleep...and then we found a "recreation area" on the lake and as we were walking saw the sign "kayak club". We immediately jumped out of our motorhome. It was around 6 pm. We asked if we could rent a kayak.
Well, this kayak community- that we found out later is one of the biggest club in Denmark-.opened their doors to us, almost adopting us! They gave us kayaks to use, and the whole club!
Showers, toilets , internet and even their private car park to sleep. We were even invited to their celebratory dinner on that night- to cheer for the medals they won in the European championships.

Next morning- before we went for another kayaking around the lake-we had a few of them joining us for breakfast in our home; and they came in with eggs and bread and  and their club t-shirts!!! We found out that the jazz festival is even on......so 3 days later, we are still here!-

An spontaneous cheese and alcohol followed, an orange sunset and saying  good bye to such a glorious place and people was really  difficult. We promised to them and to us to come back one day soon.

19 to 21 July Copenhagen

Hot, young, cool and sexy! That was the first impression of Copenhagen.

We arrived on a Saturday night and as usual left our motorhome about 10 k from the city, jumped to our bikes and to explore the city! Everybody was on the street, dancing and bbqing on the water side, jumping on the water.

There was so much to see and experience! The promenades and the colourful houses, the opera house, the sailing boats and all the ice cream shops, the museum where we learnt a lot about their culture, the lunch on the edge of the water at the national theatre, the canals.

 We are so much loving this way of travelling. We do feel like locals, buying in supermarkets, going around the unknown neighbourhoods. Many parts of this city remained us of home. The recycled buildings, the wharf, the big ships and the scorching heat!

We swam in the Baltic Sea (new one!) and the water was surprisingly very warm.

22 July

 An incredible 20 k bridge linking both countries, we crossed  to Sweden on the tune and laugh of ABBA. And instantly as we crossed, we saw IKEA!!!

Decided to stay put for 1 day on the beach to recover before we go again to a big city.
