Walk up to the lighthouse and German WW2  bunker installation above the campsite at Hirtshals before we set off for the Colorline 3 hour ferry sailing at 12.45 pm 5 mins drive away. Brand new  luxurious ferry , lots of walking round and sheltered  outdoor sunbathing areas. Sea was like glass.

Drove to Sanjeford , camping Granholem with sea inlet swimming from  several jetties. Buoys marked off the safe swimming area from the  jet skis and motorboats zooming up and down. Friendly camp site managers  owner called Kurt and Inger.GSOH 

Birthday party was in progress outside the reception/ pub when we arrived for   8-11 year olds , with pizza provided ( recommended )We didn't recognise  the birthday anthem , but it was so  sweetly sung by the group of young girls that we applauded loudly afterwards.We swam in the sea(15 degrees ) in sunshine. Stunning scenery.
