From Hvide Sande to Kerteminde and Real Danish Pastries

We are travelling through Denmark, working our way up to eventually visit Oslo in Norway. Having recently stayed at Bork Havn we decided to drive around the Ringkøbing Fjord on the west side and so came to Hvide Sande - which is where the fjord meets the sea. We easily parked in a small shopping complex right in the centre of town and went for an explore. The details of where we parked are:

The last picture here is close to the shopping complex - down a slight incline from where we had parked (you can see the van in the first picture). The tower of fish boxes represent the height of the tsunami which hit the coast of Japan in 2012. It is by artist Andrew Haines  and was built as part of the Bolgen Festival in 2013. Here's a link to a video collage of the structure.

Whilst in Hvide Sande we found a a kind of flea market - which had lots of different things, including old military shells and paraphernalia, also clogs made out of reed.

The bottom left picture is someone sitting on an old German military bunker - I went inside, but it was very dark and dank. Flooded in part, you had to use planks that someone had put in there to move about. Very large and solid structure - don't see that going anywhere in a hurry.

For lunch we decided to find some fish - and came across a Fiskebutik to buy some smoked eel. It was a little expensive, but very tasty.

After lunch we decided that we needed to cover some ground if we were going to make it to Sweden - so off we went on a longer trip to Kerteminde - about 250 kilometres (the way that we chose to go). It took us nearly four hours, and we ended up staying on the Harbour car park for the night. I had looked up where to stay - and this place appeared as an 'aire' where motorhomes could stay overnight. It was really great. Amazingly quiet, had toilets that we could use, water and cassette emptying facilities and I even managed to latch on to their wi-fi for nothing.

The details for the car park/aire are

You can just see the van hiding behind the Harbour Masters building. There were benches overlooking the harbour - and I must admit that I took a beer and sat to watch the sun go down. Very nice.

Next day we went for a walk into Kerteminde itself.  We explored widely and ended up at the Farvergarden museum, which was really interesting not least of which because you could get 'up close and personal' with most of the items. Very few things were locked away in glass cases.

On the way back to the van we stopped at a traditional cake shop and I bought a danish pastry. Times like this when K wishes that she could eat wheat. I sat on a bench next to the harbour and enjoyed it very much.
