Pack up for Denmark. We depart at 12.30 pm and arrive at Puttgarden to catch the 1.15 pm car ferry. We have quick lunch on board and arrive 40 minutes later at Roedby in the Danish island of Lolland. No customs, immigration or other formality, we just drive off the ferry and continue our journey. Another 1 hour and we arrive at their home in Skjoltrup on the island of Falster. The Danish queen has a country house in the area which she might visit once a year. .
Pia and Peter’s summer house is a lovely 200 year old thatched roof cottage with very small doors throughout – bumped heads no matter how careful you are. Philip and Kwan have a few casualties.
Kwan is not impressed to hear that there are mice around in the roof and walls and of course all the humming bees in the garden stimulate much animation.
We take in the sun in the beautiful garden surrounded by flowering cherry and plum trees. Kwan works the Sudoku and Philip reads. We walk in and through the nearby forest to the beach. This is the Baltic sea and Peter tells us it will not worm up for another couple of months.
Peter makes a yummy dinner, Danish hamburger meat and white fish, Plaice, which he has got from a local fisherman. Dessert – a special Danish soft jelly, Roedgroed. Early rest.
