day 2
Day 2 started magically. It was so sunny that the sky was amazingly blue. We hired bikes which are only £10 for the whole day... and literally became my new favourite thing. I even had a basket which for some reason was a highlight. Then the countryside is like a giant playground. We cycled for miles and got very sunburnt. First stop Grenen.
Skagen is most famous for Grenen which is the tip of the country. When you dip your toe in the water you can actually see the two seas meeting and crashing together (although the water is so so cold but even trying to be macho is thankfully stopped as swimming is forbidden because of the strong opposing currents). What surprised us was how empty the beach was. We saw all the cars and bus load of people arriving and were a little worried, we are the kind of couple that enjoy rural and non-touristy, but after the tractor that takes a load of people to the tip left... we were alone and felt miles away from the mainland.
one foot, two seas
There is so much to see on skagen so I'm afraid I may have to split this day into a few... in case I bombard you with lots of pictures and ramblings.
Apparently some days you can see seals off the coastline if its pretty empty, apparently sunshine scares them away.
