Hirtshals

Fri 21st April 2023

This morning was the first occasion since we left the UK that wind hasn’t been blowing strongly, just a gentle breeze, what a difference, also today we have had to drive up and down hills ( well more like rolling countryside) a first again in 11 days.

Tonight’s campsite couldn’t give us a much more beautiful coastal spot to spend the afternoon and evening. Firstly we were given a very warm welcome by the site manager who commented they rarely get English visitors, he was an avid Man Utd supporter, even had the initials tattooed on his arm, he was upset because they lost 3-0 last night.

After lunch we went for a walk along the beach to the fishing port and on into town, there is very little in the way of commerce in the town but the fishing port was huge with some very large fishing vessels both moored and on dry dock being repaired.

Layla couldn’t wait to get into the sea.

The water was so clear you could see the sea bed

There was a smaller harbour before the big harbour.

As we were connected to the mains electricity we took advantage of using the microwave to cook a lasagne and jacket potatoes which we finished off in the oven. As it was such a beautiful evening after our meal we went for a walk in the opposite direction towards a lighthouse that towered above the camp site.
