JULY 2019 : DENMARK : DAY 11 : Liseby - Askeby via Harbølle


Liseby to Askeby today. We have moved from the summer cottages to the small hamlets of permanent residents.



Heavy rain overnight so we were prepared with our wet weather gear today.
 We were able to get breakfast and leave at a leisurely pace as we didn’t have far to travel.
Today is our last day of walking.

Wildflowers and beautiful garden blooms


As we had a shorter walk we detoured to another village, Harbølle, with a cafe run by volunteers for the summer. We were lucky as it was open today but closes for the season tomorrow.



Harbølle also has small port, a little too far for us today



Small scooters placed at the beginning and end of Harbølle village to remind motorists and cyclists to look our for young children.

We have been so impressed with the number of families on a cycling holiday with all members accommodated and many of the young ones cycling beside parents with ease


We are staying at a farm stay tonight with a reputation for serving excellent produce. They have camping and shelter accommodation but we are in a comfortable room inside the main house. We walked around the garden and Mark was accosted by a flock of hens - always the chick magnet.


Dinner with Eva, our hostess, and her partner, Dennis - all her own produce, including her rosé wine.

Postscript : Point of interest. Despite being in the EU, Denmark has kept the kroner as its currency. Each note has a bridge and a hologram in the shape of an ancient artefact. The bridge on the 500 kroner note is the one from the mainland on to Møn. The hologram is a bronze artefact. There are 5 kroner to AUD$.


On the reverse, there is the artefact revealed and there is a map to show where the bridge is and where the artefact was found.
