• Near Oksby Part 1

    June 6 in Denmark ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Today we got up and headed out to the northern most point of the Wadden Sea National Park and the westernmost point in Denmark! There was a lighthouse there and lots of dunes that were smash hills with small houses nestled in that was really fun! Really gorgeous and different! It had said it wasn’t supposed to be super windy and when we woke up there was no wind here, and it wasn’t as windy as it had been on the beach, but there was wind and it was cold! We spied around there some and found a new to us lizard! Bright green!

    Then we headed into Oksby to see what we could see. We had driven through town on the way to the beach and it looked cute and I’m glad we did! We found lots of treats at the bakeries! First was a pastry with strawberry jam inside and poppy seeds on top - super good! And some rye bread with seeds for breakfast tomorrow. Then a bakery with cardamom buns which we are hoping will be better than yesterday (no photo as I didn’t take one). And lastly these pastries with either vanilla of chocolate frosting that I was expecting to be crunchier like a palmier when I saw what they were, but was absolutely delicious! It was soft flaky pastry with lots of cinnamon rolled up like a cinnamon roll and flattened. So so good!

    The rest of the town was nice, not very big, but the Main Street was fun to wander down. Lots of pottery for sale, but it seemed like everyone had the same thing. Still fun. Oh and the one place had chicken ice cream for your pup!
