Journey – Kiel – Rømø Denmark
Time is an odd concept. Traveling for a year we have so much of it and no fixed route so in theory don’t want to rush and instead give each place it’s due. However Mark and I have been pondering Denmark for a few days…since Bremen I have been keen to just drive on, but Mark preferred to visit a few more places…after Lubeck places that were nice but in honesty nothing special. He said he felt we were rushing if we left Germany too soon…but counter to that Kiel didn’t offer much more than a cafe, a harbour and a church…if it was local to Norwich we wouldn’t visit it. He had to concede, if the German tourism website says there isn’t much to see beyond Lubeck…then let’s just enjoy the drive and head to Denmark.
In fairness to Kiel it served yummy apple cake, had a secondhand book shop with a few English books and had free parking which enabled me to sit and plan our Denmark route – thinking we will be here for 3 weeks 🙂🇩🇰
Crossing the border we headed to Rømø island which is a nature reserve. It’s only small and we have driven in every direction as far as we can go. Firstly south to give the pups a quick run on a little shell beach, and then the highlight…we had read it was possible to drive on to the main beach on the west of the island. Mark was panicked we would get stuck but I spotted a few other campers parked so braved it and I’m so glad we did…it was amazing! In scale the beach felt like Holkham and was pristine. The pups loved it! We aren’t allowed to camp there overnight (you have to be on a designated site) but we will definitely take them back tomorrow morning.
Now for some hygee…curled up with the pups, a book and hot chocolate… I’m already liking Denmark
