Having shaken off any remaining bird lice from Nyord, it's onwards to days two and three of our Møn road trip. We headed east for a day of hiking around the cliffs and forests of Møns Klint. Our first aim was to scale Timmesøbjerg to see the oldest beech trees in Denmark. This hill was apparently used as … Continue reading Mere Møn biltur

Tilbage til Nyord
While Anna and Steve were in Copenhagen we took a few days to head out of town and see a bit more of Denmark. There is only one real solution when the sole planning restriction is 'low cost', and that is primitive shelters. Hurrah! After stocking up on nutritious car snacks (aka chips 'med dill' and … Continue reading Tilbage til Nyord

And before you say anything, it is only the first of THREE holidays in the next four weeks. Don't be too jealous though - the Danes just really like to front … Continue reading En tur til syd øst
