A really nice and relaxed day today. Didn't get up too early but realised that we had no breakfast either. We could order food to be delivered and thought we had in plenty of time but alas no.
Luckily we had enough supplies with us to get us going, chocolate biscuits, nectarines and cheese and ham.
Stopped at the supermarket on the way in for more food, and then a really leisurely walk in to the town itself via the harbour. The town has lots of cycle and walking paths so is easy to get about by foot or on bikes.
Stopped as soon as we got there for a drink, then slowly walked around the town, stopping where we felt like.
Hans Christian Andersen was born here, and there's loads of statues for his stories, so wherever you walk you invariably spot one, and it's interesting how many stories you're aware of without realising it. There is a park in the middle of the city with a mock house and they have a Hans Christian Andersen parade twice a day.
The actual house where he lived when he was little is bright yellow and the town itself has lots of little old houses. It is very quaint.
There are also some shops so we did a spot of shopping for jumpers for the boys as none of us brought one and it clouded over in the afternoon, although we were lucky with no rain.
Stopped for a restaurant meal as a treat, then back via the supermarket for snacks and wine, before heading back to play cards.
