I have always loved the beach... The feeling of the soft sand and the peaceful atmosphere created by the waves crashing on the shore is something that you just can not beat. Even in winter the beach is beautiful and if the weather is right, you can sometimes even squeeze in a swim-especially at the Point. In Denmark though swimming at the beach is impossible as I found out this morning when I visited one just down the road.
It felt really strange wearing boots, a thick jacket, a beanie and gloves to the beach, especially because it is summer back home. It was actually -4 today though so the weather was nice for our visit! We arrived to a snow covered fishing port that is a popular summer spot. There were lots of small and big fishing boats that were covered in snow (your kind of place Nick). There was also a beautiful view of Roskilde and I am told that you can sometimes see people snow surfing there (what?!?!) A quick walk through the soft snow and we came to the beach. It was like an ice rink! Very different to Aussie beaches in winter. I got to walk out on the ice which was really cool! Made sure that it was very stable because this was one time where I did not want to go swimming at the beach!
After our little walk, we drove into Holbeck for the afternoon. This is also another harbour town that has a bigger fishing port. There is also a little ferry that goes out to another island. Would be good to do in Summer (already making a list of things that i want to do!) Like all of the towns that I have been to, Holbeck was so beautiful! So many old buildings and cosy little shops. Really loving the European fashion as well.
Arrived home to have a quiet evening. I'm loving the Danish houses. Like everything else, they are so cosy. Could easily get used to the heated floors and heated carseats!! So good!
Reminders of home are still everywhere I look, especially because the Aussie open is being televised here. Kind of nice to have different commentators, even if I don't understand them! Saw an add for the AFL this morning so may even get to cheer on the Swannies this year! Was also so excited when I found out that junior Masterchef Australia is on tonight! fingers crossed that the new series is broadcast here.
Have a big day tomorrow- am going to my school to find out whats in store, visiting the language school and finalising last minute things around Roskilde. Should be good!
