Tuesday April 18th 2023.
Another day started with domestic duties as we filled up the LPG tank and the Ad Blu tank, we are having a few nights without electric hookup so it’s important to keep the LPG filled as we use it for the central heating, showers as well as for cooking. Once done we headed north to Ribe in Denmark.
Ribe has been an active trading centre since at least the 8th century and was home to the Danish vikings. It is the oldest town in Denmark and many of its buildings are old, well preserved and 110 of them are covered by Heritage Protection.
The centre of Ribe is dominated by its cathedral, it can be see from miles around, construction on it began in 1150 on the site of a former church.
I persuaded Michelle she would enjoy visiting it and climbing the tower to see the magnificent view( I forgot to mention to her that it was 248 steps to the top) dogs weren’t allowed so I had to sit and have a beer.
Michelle joined me later complaining about sore knees but she did provide me with one photo from the top looking out to the nearby sea.
The river that runs through the town flows out into the nearby sea.
