The name of this harbour sounds a bit strange, does it not?
It is the harbour where the ships were loaded with the chalk that came from the limestone quarry in Faxe, a town about 6 Km from here.
The limestone deposits are 63 million years old and apparently still contain many fossils. We are going to stay here tomorrow and cycle to the quarries, which are still being 'mined' (the chalk factory is near the harbour here). There is also a museum there.
We'll report (with pictures) tomorrow.
The rumours are that the weather, which has been quite unsettled but not bad the last 10 days or so, is going to improve with more sun and higher temperatures. Let's hope that this is true. Today was good from a wind point of view, but we arrived at the tail end of a heavy rain shower and we had another shower with thunder and wind at the end of the afternoon.
