Motorhome News from Europe 45 7th May - 13th May 2011 Denmark - Funen (Fyn) and Zealand 'To Travel is to Live,' was a Hans Christian Andersen maxim. And we might just agree with that. It would certainly be true to say that the Denmark we have seen on Jutland is less than dramatic. But this is a pleasant land, full of little surprises that will leave a contented smile on your face and a mellow imprint on your heart. There are striking yellow houses around the town in Skagen, a fine museum of local art, the rushing tidal waters where the North Sea meets the Baltic. There are stunning sandy beaches to the east and west of the peninsular and a vast migratory sand dune at Rabjerg Mile a little way to the south. Hours ... read more

Last 2 weeks in Denmark, so things are busy. Im cleaning out my room and helping to renovate the youth room. Im working with a guy from Brazil who is a professional painter so it should look really nice once were finished painting the place. There will be a wedding here at Svanholm on Saturday and a number of parties the following week. There will also be a small market at Svanholm for my last weekend and there should be a number of people selling hand made knives, which works out nice since I would like to buy one before I leave. The weather is great, the work is easy. All the best, Nicholas... read more

All is well on Sjæland at the moment. The weather is great, folks are getting married, the work is relaxed. Ive spoken to several Svanholmers about the family coming to visit and they all have the same response, Well then, once you invite one Canadian, you get 5 eh? They always like to joke with me and one of the Dutch guys here calls me The Bush Man. I cant write to much at the moment since I am on a coffee pause but everything here is going swell. I hope things in Alberta are going alright, besides the fact that teachers can no longer talk about evolution! All the best, Nicholas... read more

Yesterday we wend to Roskilde, it was the first capital of Denmark with an old gothic cathedral dating from 13th century, replacing even older. But the main reason we took a train (30 min) was a Viking museum. Danish vikings(there were of course Norvegian and Swedish too) are the ones who are remembered the most in history as those who stole, burned and raped, just because they did it in civilized France. Well this was part of the business, they did of course a lot of trading, and in time they settled in France and England. They were the best saylors of their time and they boats were well designed. The museum was more interesting than I expected with many informations well presented and the tour with english speaking guide added a lot of little known ... read more
