Esbjerg Town

After our walk we headed into town to see what we could see and spy on places for dinner. First up was a gelato place with vegan cookie ice cream which was…not great. Not awful, but the base was like carmel fake butter flavor which was not very good. If you had pieces of cookie in the bite it was okay, but I wouldn’t get it again.

Then we went to this place where we got lots of treats in Norway to see what they had and they had a cardamom bun and blueberry tart so we got them and tried a bite and…neither was very good. It was very sad. Then we spied on the restaurants I had marked and…none of them looked very good either! And the health foods grocery store was mostly clothes? It was odd! Very disappointing food here so we went to the store and made dinner instead.

But the town was nice, but super empty! We were like it is Friday…why are the stores closed and no one is here?? Well it is constitution day! We saw them taking down a band on the stage in the park so we missed that!

There was a very tall bench in town and I tried to get up on it, but it was way to tall and wobbly so I couldn’t…then we were walking to the car and Raymond was like what about this chair? And it was a big stone chair I had missed because it was behind another stone sculpture! So I still got a pic with me in a big chair! Hooray! All in all we had a fun wander.

On the way back to our place we stopped at the Men By the Sea sculpture which is odd as they are so big and look kind of uncomfortable (I think it’s their eyes), but a fun stop! And the back to our place. Phew! We did a lot of walking today! My watch says almost 18km!

It was really windy today and much colder than yesterday. I had to wear my jacket all day and once we got to the water on our walk I had to add my sweater as it was too cold without it. I’m glad I brought clothes for pretty much every temp (and got much colder than forecast)! We did have dinner out on the patio here and sat out there a bit until we froze. Tomorrow isn’t supposed to be as windy so we are going to go spy on the peninsula that is across the way from us and the beaches over there. Maybe a more relaxing day of it is nice enough to lounge on the beach - we shall see!

It also gets dark so much later here! It doesn’t feel like we are that much farther north than home, but we went to bed last night and it was still light out! It was after sunset which was 10:01, but it stayed light so long!Read more
