Day 6 Skagen

Oh what a beautiful morning !! An early dock in to Skagen (pronounced Skåne). Sadly we missed the approach due to our peepers not opening until 9am this morning. The sun was shining and the forecast was wrong yet again, another shorts and t-shirt day which was wonderful. Breakfast on the open decks and I was surprised when Janet from the omelette and special egg stand remembered me from the last cruise last year !! I’d sort of recognised her but when I ordered my omelette she asked if I was on the med cruise last year !! Made my morning !!

A steady start to the morning before disembarking and having a wander around the town, Skagen is the most northern tip of Denmark and fishing is quite big here. We elected not to go to the beach today as we’ve been a couple of times before so we just ambled around the town. We had a drink in a lovely cafe which is on the road out to the sea. Here the North Sea and the Baltic Sea meet and if we’d gone to the beach you can stand in the sea with a foot in each. It’s a very picturesque town and not very big do you can imagine it’s quite busy when a cruise ship docks. Sharon has been wanting a Nordic woolly jumper and we found said article in a small local shop.

We were back on board mid afternoon so took advantage of the hot tub. Had a few little humans come in but they were good as gold. Sat soaking up the sun in the hot tub was so relaxing and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a late lunch again out on the decks. We’ve hardly been inside this holiday, making the most of the outdoors and the exceptional weather. We have been spoiled.

Snails on the menu tonight, obvs not for me, just a few sandwiches for me tonight. Sharon did try an oyster, I was quick to point out I’d got a headache !!

We are finishing the evening off on our balcony as we are being treated to a fairly impressive thunder and lightening show. It’s started to rain, quite heavily and our balcony has little shelter. Sharon’s been trying to take pictures of the lightening to no avail, she flattened the battery on her phone so moved on to mine, I’ve just deleted 174 photos of nothing but black 😂😂.

So we’re heading back towards the UK now, day at sea tomorrow and the forecast is cooler and cloudier, but to be honest that’s what it’s been all week, and it’s been wrong. I do feel the jeans may get an airing tomorrow though !!

Ps, last photo is Sharon’s attempt at a lightening shot 😂😂 Czytaj więcej
