I was fortunate to meet a kind and lovely couple in Henne (right at the beginning of my tour around Denmark). They are keen cyclists too and invited me to come stay when I reached the East coast of Denmark.
Now I feel like I cycled some distance in the past few months, but this is nothing to them. These guys (Svend and Marianne) have cycled the socks off Denmark aswell as France. They are healthy and fit and they have a shrine to their adventures in the basement. It was AMAZING! I really really admire them and keep being reminded whilst here in Denmark how fit and healthy Scandinavia really is. From what I have seen here, the people’s attitude to fitness is not a show-off sort of way, it’s just inbred into them from a young age. I remember seeing an old lady in Skagen – it was sweltering hot and she was just ‘going for a jog’ in her bikini!
