I forgot to mention yesterday that one of the highlights of the day was the lunch I had when I arrived at Ærøskøbing. (I’m at Odense Central Library as I write this, waiting for my train to Copenhagen and, from … Continued
Svendborg and Ærøskøbing
A few random thoughts to start off:
Day Five: Farvel København
It’s 9:45 am, and I just boarded the train to Odense, where I change for Svendborg, where I get the ferry to Ærø. Today is Ascension Day, a holiday in Denmark, and the train is packed with people getting away … Continued
