Completing the tour











Odense was in fact quite interesting though the HCA hus was rather overpowered by the visitor centre and archive. He seems to have spent most of his life as some sort of roving entertainer/houseguest making paper cuts for his hostesses and their guests. Many are archived as well writing and rehearsing his many famous fairytales. We stayed in the City Hotel near the centre and trod the streets looking at the historic buildings,enjoying a coffee in the sunshine. We set off late morning for Nyborg where we visited the slot and walked round the old town. We enjoyed a shared plate of cheesy, tomato/pepper Nachos and apple juice for a late snack lunch and then crossed the Store Baelt over the grand suspension bridge to Korsor back to Zealand . Having decided top take the backroads and call in to look at the shops in Soro (which we have passed many times going to B&T). Only one wrong turn into a supermarket car park thanks to pp navigation before we hit the highstreet where g bought a G Jensen charm ( well I should perhaps refrain from making the obvious comment) and we were pleasantly interrupted by T and her tennis partner Helle (?) who had spotted us and dragged us off for a beer./Later joined by Bendt for another before returning to Ringsted for a BBQ supper.
Up late today, despite W’s early departure for work, K took J off to nursery and health visitr arrived to check out D for about an hour. Said our goodbyes and then to Koge and up the coast to Dragor - a pretty and nicely preserved little community about 5km from CPH airport. Quiet and little evidence of the ‘elephant in the room.’ Traditional Dansk fare for lunch and walk around before returning to CPH for our flight. Steve Goat & D picked us up from EMA (thanks Steve & Di)
