Aalborg & Skagen

Monday and Tuesday, May 13-14, 2013

Although Aalborg looked quite nice, I only ventured out for about an hour’s walk – in the rain. It just about drizzled the whole day. You have to give the people points for optimism though: despite the rain just about every cafe had outdoor seating set up, glistening with water.

In Skagen (pronounced ‘Skain’) we had better luck. I went shoreside around 10am and only got drizzled on for about 10 minutes and then the skies went blue. Skagen is very pictoresque with is low yellow houses with red roofs.
Went for a walk to Grenen, a sandy shifting headland at the north tip of Denmark, which is the boundary between Skagerrak and the Kattegat.
