Susan and Paul-Eric -Rest day

Today was a rest day that I needed. Susan had to go to work early again and Paul-Eric was working from home so he was upstairs. We had breakfast together and I did some Facebook and blog. Then I went on Silver to find a bank and a mailing place. At the bank, I asked a worker to come outside and help me with the machine. The money here is about 7 times the Canadian dollar. Everything always looks very expensive and it is.  I stopped at the grocery store and only bought some yogurt and an apple and a pastry.

After asking many people, I found out you could mail a parcel from another grocery store. I got a box from the store thinking I could cut it down if necessary and headed back to the house. I packed some clothes, my speaker and some cords, some maps, a coat, my pots and filled the box. I tied it to the back of the bicycle, and cycled carefully back and got it mailed.

Susan came home around 2 pm and we all had lunch together. Victor was up and going boating today in their boat. I did some work and later Susan offered to take me on another tour and out for pancakes.

We went by this big set of buildings that used to be a home for the mentally insane. She said when she was young she was afraid to walk past it.

Now it is apartments and a sports school.

Susan had this pancake with apples and cinnamon.

I had fruit and ice cream.

There were many flavours to choose from.

The pancake maker was busy as there were quite a few customers.

I liked this needlepoint picture on the wall in the shop.

The view from where we were sitting was spectacular.

We asked a lady to take our photo.

We drove on and walked along a sandy path to Hvidbjerg Strand or beach. We were quite high up from the water.

The sand was very white and fine.

We would have had to climb back up if we went down so we just took photos and then left.

We made a stop at the very fancy Lutheran church where they attend when they go.

It is very unusual architecture inside and out

The outside of the church

Then we drove back and saw the bridge that the cars go over to get to Fyn from Jutland

This is a photo of the bridge that I would be bicycling over. It is being repaired now.

The arch under the bridge.

Just as we were stopped to look at the bridge, Victor sped by in their boat.

In the evening we went for a walk from the house to the water and sat watching some preteens having fun jumping in.

Good bye Susan and Paul-Eric . THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY AND KINDNESS TO ME. MAY GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY.

Goodbye Victor

One photo with the Nutella jar to remember the grilled Nutella sandwiches.

I had a great time with you all and look forward to seeing you again after my bicycle trip around Denmark.

Visit with Susan and Paul-Eric-Day 20

Finally I arrived in Fredericia to meet Susan, her husband, Paul-Eric and their youngest of three sons, Victor. Susan works in an office in the shipping area of the waterfront directing where all the containers have to go. She also volunteers at a home for abused women when she is not at work. Paul-Eric works as a salesman for a heating and air conditioning company. He has also qualified and is a counselor for war veterans. T,hey have 3 sons, Daniel, Mattias and Victor. I only met Victor who is 18 and is an apprentice welder. He is a handsome, mature young man. I also met his best friend , Kennie ,who will turn 18 on July 30 and he is an apprentice electrician. Their home is very beautiful and I was given a room downstairs, shared their lunch and started a load of laundry.

After supper, Susan took me out for a tour. First we went to the local beach. It was windy, but warm.

Then we drove to the city of Vejle.

We stopped at the government building where one would get married. There was also a sculpture of a historic person. Beside it was a big church and a cemetery.

Then we drove to Fjordhus where the owner of Legoland  has his offices. It is quite a unique building on the waterfront.

In the distance, we could see the bridge for cars to go to Fun from Jutland.

We took photos.

Then we drove to the restaurant and grounds where Susan and Paul-Eric had their wedding reception.

The grounds were very pretty.

There is also an old grain mill on site that is now a museum.

The man in charge let in some water and the round tube turned. We saw the millstone  and I was standing on a trap door . It was good that he didn't open it.

There were also some antiques that we looked at in another building.

Then we went home. On the evening we watched a show about a couple rebuilding a castle they had purchased.
