Grenen
Today we stood with one foot in the North Sea and the other in the Baltic. We cycled 3km out of Skagen along a long straight road busy with pedestrians, cyclists, cars and camper vans heading in both directions. We parked our bikes and joined the hordes of people walking along the beach towards the long sand spit in the distance. The people standing on it looked as though they were standing on the surface of the sea. Walking in sand was tough so we took off our shoes and socks to walk on the wet sand. A strong wind blew from the east, but it was mild. Still we went, onward, while the Sandormen (sand worm) tractor bus drove people nearly to the tip of Denmark. Because the narrow end of this sand spit is Denmark’s northernmost point. Would there be this many people at John O Groats? Finally we made our way to the end and paddled. Then it was back along the sand for a well deserved ice cream.
The Baltic (technically the Kattegat Sea) was much rougher
Than the North Sea (technically the Skagerrak)
