As far North as we'll go

We are now in Gilleleje, the most northern harbour on Sæland. It's also as far north as we'll go this trip. We are at 56 degrees 20 minutes north. Although technically when we leave the harbour tomorrow on our way to Hundested we will be a bit further North, this is 'officially' as far as we'll go.

This morning we still had good, free Internet and this is how the boat looked:





Gilleleje is a very nice, quite substantive fishing port:





Tomorrow the destination is Hundested. From there, there is a good train connection to Copenhagen, which the boys will use to get back on Thursday. Greg will then stay with Sean in London for another week and fly back to Cape Town on 8 August.

Our plans have changed a bit. We really like Denmark and to 'do' the North German lakes and Berlin as we were intending to do, would require us to move to Lübeck post haste and then spend some 5 hours a day motoring to get to Berlin and back to Holland by the end of September. That really is not what we want to do, so we will slowly go back South, either through the Store or Lille Bælt. Then possibly to Lübeck, but after the Lübeck - Elbe canal turn starboard and head towards Hamburg. Then via the Geeste to Bremerhaven and the Küstenkanal further West. We can then, depending on the timing, decide to go either to the North of the Netherlands (Groningen), or more South and enter via the Rhine.

It's the first time we are actually planning the 'way back....'
