A beautiful bike ride from Tisvildeleje to Gilleleje with many spectacular beaches to explore. But the 20 km bike ride, on mainly gravel paths, was exhausting for Christoph. He was not in a pleasant mood coming home on the train. Sorry Christoph for planning such long day trips.

We spent a wonderful day with our old neighbour (she is like a grandmother to Gabrielle and Christoph) at her summer cottage in Kulhuse. Lunch at Kulhuse Kro and a short trip to the beach before a storm hit us. Our luggage has arrived and I’m finally online thanks to a neighbour and his magic password!

We biked 30 km today – not bad for Christoph who just turned seven. We went to the popular beach, Bellevue, in Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen. Afterwards, we biked around Dyrehaven, The Deer Park, a beautiful forest park with impressive huge, ancient oak trees and large numbers of deer.
On the more negative side, our luggage was lost at the airport and we are getting tired of wearing the same outfit day in and day out. Please – find our luggage soon!
