Despite the inclement weather we had enjoyed our time at Ballum Camping. We had decided to stay for a third night and do a long drive down to Lutzs’ on Monday.

Ballum, South Jutland, Denmark
Saturday 22nd September 2018
Friday night has to go down as one of the most blustery nights that we have endured so far in the caravan here in Ballum. Added to that was the torrential rain which sounded like someone spraying the top and sides of the van with a hosepipe! We were suffering the effects of one of the current storms sweeping off the North Sea from the Atlantic.
Luckily by mid afternoon there was a break in the weather and to stop us going stir crazy we ventured out in the car to explore the local area.
This area of Denmark is located within the National Park Vadehavet /The Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO Heritage site. Continue reading Ballum, South Jutland, Denmark
Implementing Plan B
Friday 21st September 2018
Plan A, to store the van and car here and fly home for a few days from Copenhagen, hadn’t worked. The site we were on didn’t like the idea of storing the car & van for us, nor did another I’d emailed.
Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen
Wednesday 19th September 2018
Today we were looking forward to experiencing Denmark’s public transportation system from our local station in Holbæk directly into the city centre of Copenhagen.
We managed to find a free parking space next to the station which was lucky as the station was much busier than we had anticipated. Continue reading Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen
Takk Norge
Saturday 15th to Monday 17th September 2018
We have been in Norway for 50 days today and not a day has gone by without seeing something amazing. Takk Norge.
However, the weather of late hasn’t been that kind and we have undoubtedly spent more than we planned to spend. The decision was to move south taking in a visit to Copenhagen, a place neither of us had been before.
As the checkout time is 16:00 at Oslo Camping and we still had 4 hours validity left on our Oslo Passes, before leaving we drove up to visit the nearby Holmenkollen National Ski Arena. This has facilities for ski jumping, cross country skiing and biathlon. The viewing platform at the top of the ski jump offers fantastic views over Oslo and its’ surrounding area. There is a fine museum covering over 4000 years of skiing history.
