Looking for Lurpak Cows

We have blitzed through Denmark faster than the Germans. Esbjerg was not too intersting, but we did just stroll through it from the ferry to the train station.

The Danes, their trains and the weather have been great. ‘Rural’ Denmark seems to consist of flat green farmland, wind turbines, waterways, freakishly considerate people and manure (hopefully just the time of year).

I’ve been looking out of the train window in search of the famous Lurpak Cows. Don’t believe everything you see on TV – the cows here don’t seem to have their own fun-fares.

Tonight we are in Hirtshals (if you say it like it is written the ladies at the ticket office will have no idea where you want to go). Then tomorrow morning it’s off to Norway – that’s where the cool stuff starts.

It’s Ez-ba-urgh

Denmark! Country # 2 If you include England – we do.

V was reading me a bit on their history, culture etc. Seems we will be fine as long as we don’t; tip the waiters (they earn too much), insult the monarchy or the flag. And we will need to be on time, walk fast and never.. ever.. order tea (they drink more coffee per capita than any other nation).
