Ain’t spring great! Here in Scandinavia it seems to take on
a sense of urgency as if the cold will come back and it will have to start
again. The dawn chorus has a louder necessity to it and the buds are
creaking with pressure. The people urgently
embrace the first warm sun as well, and amongst the joggers in newly squeezed in
lycra, the promenades throng with amblers in spring, (not winter) coats.
We like Denmark and the Danes, and apart from their ridiculously
expensive capital, it feels like Devon. Apart from, all
the Danish tourist attractions we have seen, which are very good, are all about
Vikings. We are lucky in the UK, we had
Vikings, Romans and Normans.. Denmark is Vikings
and Carlsberg. Well a bit more. Turborg as well.
We crossed over to Sweden and stayed with some friends in Malmo. The bridge is 8km long, after 4 km in a
tunnel and is the longest road and rail bridge in Europe. Amazing. We crossed the whole bridge in fog which was
very eerie; like driving through a cloud.
Bob Marley has pipped The Kings of Leon as no 1 driving
song. Well, sunshine, the road, can’t beat it!
