Middelfart
14 luglio 2023, Danimarca ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Denmark has beautiful rolling countryside, and predominantly all country with cottage style homes scattered through.

We stopped in at Middelfart (meaning Middle Way) for a walk break on our way to Copenhagen, the town buildings have a similar feel to Germany.
Was originally known as Mæthælfar 1231, the town is located on the narrowest point of the Little Belt ( as explained to me Little bridge, Little belt) .

The 13th century they were known for fishing porpoises, the 16th century they had increased cattle trade and after the Swedish wars in the 17th century the town trade suffered.
The 19th century, 1836 they established their own harbour and started trading the agriculture locally grown.
The 20th century, when the bridge was built and increased the population and the town expanded incorporating close by towns.

The church in town and close to the water is called St Nicholas.... is anyone seeing a pattern with the names..... 🤔🤪Leggi altro

Copenhagen - History
15 luglio 2023, Danimarca ⋅ 🌬 21 °C
So I like to research the areas I've been to so here's some info on Copenhagen, you can skip to the photo's if wish, this one is lengthy 😉

Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital is coastal which is linked to Malmo in southern Sweden by the Öresund Bridge. The port was originally fished for Herring, then served as a naval port (which is still there but on the opposite side so it isn't in front of the Royal Palace) and now mainly used by sail boats and cruise ships.

The original name was Kaupmannahofn, from old Norse meaning merchants harbour. Over time between the Danish, Germans, Swedish, Icelandic and the English is slowly changed, the Latin caupo meaning tradesman.

Archaeological finds suggest human settlement origins dating back to the 11th century (Stone Age) and also believed that the town itself dates back to the Viking Age.

The city's historic center, contains Frederiksstaden, an 18th-century rococo district, the royal family (yes our Princess Mary) lives in Amalienborg Palace, there are four buildings in a circle, Queen Margareth Lycra in one and Mary and Frederick another.
Nearby is Christiansborg Palace and the Renaissance-era Rosenborg Castle, surrounded by beautiful lawn and gardens.
There are a number of bridges connecting the various districts, the city is characterised by parks, promenades and canals.Leggi altro

We walked 17km on Saturday around Copenhagen and we included a canal tour.... Steffi later shared the only way to stop me was to say 'oh look there's a bar, let's have a drink' haha. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, I didn't put up a fight haha

It is quite common for people to jump into port and swim the edges with ladders to get out, is also common and acceptable for people to go naked for a impromptu swim. There are multiple sunbathing spots around the city on the canal edges.

The first picture was at one of drink locations and the second picture is standing on a bridge looking back at it, so you can see the view was not half bad, ok so full disclosure, we had two drinks and a hot dog haha coz we didn't want to leave it plus Steffi didn't want to walk but I think we did another 10km after that haha

The Danes are very health conscious so they ride everywhere, the bikes have there own specific lane. There are more bikes than cars, I'm the last picture there were multiple two tier bike racks, there were thousands of bikes everywhere.Leggi altro

Hamburg. Day 1
17 luglio 2023, Germania ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, resides between the River Alster and the River Elbe. Germany is connected to the North Sea by the Elbe River. It's crossed by hundreds of canals, and also contains large areas of parkland.

Hamburg's rivers and canals are crossed by around 2,500 bridges, making it the city with the highest number of bridges in Europe.

The name Hamburg comes from the first permanent building on the site, a castle which the Emperor Charlemagne ordered constructed in AD 808. The original name Hammaburg, burg meaning castle or fort. The origin of the Hamma term remains uncertain.

We saw the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (views were amazing), the Port of Hamburg, Speicherstadt, Alter Elbtunnel, St Paulie Piers, St Nikolai Church ( just from the outside - we've seen a lot of churches), Cap San Diago, Pont De Köhlbrand....

It was a big day through bouts of wind and rain, kinda reminded me of the first time I was here haha not quite as cold though 😅Leggi altro
