It was
wet and windy when we left Korsør …
We
motored under the outer pillars of the suspension bridge – it hardly looks high
enough, but it is …
… then
set the sails – here’s Becca on the helm …
… and
relaxing in the sunshine which started to appear from time to time …
We
arrived in Kerteminde and went off to explore the town …
… walk
along the lake …
… past
some pretty little houses …
… and
back to Kerteminde marina …
By this
time the sun had come out and it was shaping up to be a lovely evening – just as
well, as it was Midsummer’s Day and there were celebrations planned in the town
– bonfire, barbecue and beer … plus singing along to an accordion and guitar …
There was
a lovely sunset over the marina …
… and a
beautiful moon rising over the sea – perfect for Midsummer's Night …
The
following day we went to Odense on the bus.
It’s where Hans Christian Andersen spent his childhood – not a happy one, with an impoverished, alcoholic
mother. This is the street where he
lived in the house on the right hand side – it looks like something out of a
fairy-tale …
… and
they sometimes give performances in the fairy-tale castle which is part of the
museum …
Odense
has plenty of nice old streets with interesting houses too …
We saw Rebecca
off on the train to Copenhagen airport, and took the bus back to Kerteminde, where we enjoyed a delicious meal on the terrace of the marina
restaurant – the evening turned out calm and sunny again …
Lovely old buildings. Why don't we seem to have anything like that left in the UK?
