Dear Jasper and Kestrel,
Besides the historic delights of Egeskov Castle there were more modern day things to see. The owners, over the years, have massed quite a collection of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even planes!
These are housed in a wonderfully trussed barn just across the moat from the castle.
There were de-lousing trucks from World War I and shiny modern Jaguars. It was dazzling!
When we had seen all we had the stamina to see, we drove through some rainy, then sunny, then rainy again countryside. All this summer rain sure makes for green fields! We got to the coast ( I know, most of Denmark is COAST) and found the busy shipping and transport hub of Svendborg. David had booked Grandpa Nelson and I into The Best Room in Town at the Aero Hotel.
See that high turret? That’s us!!
We had a bedroom, and then this delightful breakfast room in the turret, with a chandelier and great view of the ferry landing below. Grandpa could have watched for hours.
After we got moved in, we walked down the way and had dinner at Jette’s, a family favorite, and then walked around the harbor area.
It was a funky combination of working, slightly rusty harbor and newer, painted tourist area.
We had a great time just being silly!
The next day had enough adventure that it should get its own post. So, see you tomorrow!!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
