Dreaming of Ships, Sea and Smörgås
It seems unbelievable that I have only just returned to work and yet I will be off again this Monday on another holiday trip!
This time it will only be my wife and I who will escape, leaving everyone else to fend for themselves.
Here is the journey:
(Words in red are clickable links)
Day 1:
We will be driving down to Harwich in the afternoon and will be taking the overnight ferry from Harwich to Esbjerg in Denmark
Day 2:
A short drive to Nyborg to our hotel with spectacular views over the Great Belt bridge. Visit to Svendborg for some sightseeing and dinner.
Day 3:
Drive to Copenhagen to a lovely hotel overlooking the estuary and meeting in the evening with my good friend who has been living there for some time now.
Day 4:
Copenhagen sightseeing
Day 5:
Drive to the southern tip of Denmark and ferry across into Germany.
Visit & stay overnight at my cousin’s place near Hamburg
Day 6:
Shopping spree into Hamburg
Day 7:
Drive to the North Sea and park car. Take boat over to the tiny Friesian island of Baltrum where there are no cars allowed. We used to holiday there when I was a little boy, so this will be a bit of nostalgia for me.
Day 8, 9 and 10:
Relaxing and walking on Baltrum
Day 11:
Back to the mainland and drive down to Cologne, my home town to visit my parents, brother and sister.
Day 12 and 13:
Time with my folks and Cologne shopping
Day 14:
Back through Belgium, France, through the Channel Tunnel to England
Hopefully I will be able to take some good pictures which I will set you link to on one of my posts after the event.

Sigh. You should have warned me it wasn't wise to open your post when I'm mourning the loss of our vacation plans this summer. :-( I'm jealous. I have a friend living in Denmark and would LOVE to visit.
Yara,
You as luggage would be fun but my wife would spear me with a medium sized pitch fork upon discovery! So . . Sorry, no go!
Janet,
I am indeed one of those snap-happy guys and my camera seldom leaves my side so pictures upon return are virtually guaranteed!
Heather,
Sorry to upset you. I will drink a couple of Tuborg (Beers) on your behalf.
Besides . . . isn’t Canada just like being on a permanent holiday??
That's one advantage (of many I'm sure) to liivng on that side of the pond. Many varied place seem to be but a stones throw away.
