Day 8 Wednesday 21st May 05 - Hortens to Hirtschels 5

 


Eva's  prize winning garden in Hortens  nr Aarhus. We bid   Eva a very fond farewell after a delightful visit , (Eva is a lovely host ) 

We made our way to Skagen (after an unsuccessful attempt to visit Aarhus due to lack of short term  City centre parking for MH's) 

 Skagen is  2.5 hours drive  North . In  the 1890's  a small artists colony established themselves on the coast (Michael and Anna Acher et al ) We couldn't visit the art museum today as it was due to close when we arrived 
We wandered around the town . This is the High st market for the cruise ships passengers to browse 

The Skagen painters museum entrance 
Statues of Michael Acher  and P.S. Kroyer  and   outside the Skagens art museum 
Red roofs  and ochre yellow walls everywhere
Water tower Skagen 
Skagen church

We made our way to Hirtshals our campsite a further 45 minutes drive .  Strong winds , heavy rain led to a sleep disrupted night. Force 8 gales were forecast for the next day at sea. Andy agreed to postpone our ferry  booked from Hirtshals to Larvik in Norway , by a day; fortunately, the company didn't charge us for this request to defer the  journey by a day.
