island of mors

I cycled over the islands of Mors today and with some short snip snap ferry crossings costing approx’ 20Kr (which I think is around 1.60GBP) I had cycled the island and the sun was heading its way down. This was a lovely day and unexpected as I had first planned to head up to Thisted. I have … Continue reading

bite-sized

Heading North from Ringkobing I was struck out how Denmark just glides its way through you. Time just slips from hour to hour and the country layout (if you had to describe it) is in tasty bite-size amounts. The next village is never more than another 6km, which means there is always something new coming up and it rarely … Continue reading

food is my medicine

Whenever, wherever on this bike tour I think of food. It’s my medicine, it gets me through the day and without it im a lost cause. Even just the hint of rumbling in my tummy makes me get all figity. The other day I fell a good old smashing face to the ground, knees, elbows, ankles … Continue reading

policy philosophy

Been thinking these days that in each country visited, I always had a little motto, saying, philosophy that would get me through the day… In Norway my philosophy was to “take on one humongous hill at a time and don’t think about the next one…” I can’t believe it sometimes that I actually made it over … Continue reading

shelters

Have been looking and searching for these alternative nature sites that you camp for free at. However havent had much luck finding them using the normal map but I did come across these ‘shelters’ that you can also stay in for free and so thinking they are something of a similar. There either like these wig-wams or they can be … Continue reading

to love or like denmark

Denmark is a bit of an odd one for me really. I know I really really like it, I just don’t know whether I can love it as much as Norway. The way I have cycled from Hamburg (West along the Elbe and then North) you just sort of slip into Denmark and your here, all very … Continue reading

surprise visit to hamburg

So I havent blogged for sometime now – ‘searching endlessly for internet’ not being the reason. I left Sweden just over a week ago to surprise visit my big sister with flowers and wine (and a smelly tent and shoes) – she lives in Hamburg with her husband. I choose to cross by ferry from Trelleborg to … Continue reading

in search of internet – found a nice cafe

The days and days I have been looking for internet amaze me now. I have spent many many hours trying to first explain Internet – always thought Internet was a word that was the same in many languages – like the profound brand names such as Coca Cola or McDonald’s. Not here, no comprende of “Wifi, website, … Continue reading

robbed

My repair kit was stolen lastnight!!!…cant believe it – I feel so upset and violated that someone should steal from me in the middle of the night whilst I was sleeping. There was no such value really to my repair kit, but it was the fact I woke up so happy of getting a half decent nights sleep … Continue reading

holidaying in sweden

Since coming over to the south-east coast it has been incredible weather. My days have dropped down to sometimes only miles a day but I’m just loving being here. It has a different feeling to it in comparison to north-west Sweden – up there is felt very full on and (as it was midsummer) very hectic. I feel mean saying this … Continue reading
