Our Odyssey began yesterday when we left home with a packed car and headed towards northwestern Jutland.
Once arrived at Jegindø we spent the night at Thing House, a facility owned by my Thing cousin on the island.
After some reorganizing of our to-go stuff we left the car and pedaled down the road while the sun was breaking up the morning fog.
On the mainland, the meadows along the fjord were all covered in a pink carpet of thrifts (Engelskgræs).
This trip's first crossing of Limfjorden happened at Oddesund bridge next to which we marvelled at the brand new viewing tower in rusty iron plates and glass, – and neighbouring a handful of ugly (and indestructible) concrete bunkers from the WW2 period.
The bridge yawned and let a couple of sailing boats through the narrows.
We stopped for lunch in the village of Humlum where we sat next to these Humlumlings engaged in their local gossiping.
Passing the high-lying areas around Nørre Nissum provided us we magnificent views towards north across Limfjorden, ...
... and soon after it was time for a coffee break on the harbour front in the cosy town of Lemvig.
We meant to visit an art museum in Lemvig, but it was closed, so instead we enjoyed the tremendous scenery and location of the town in the south end of a beautiful and well protected bay.
To proceed we opted for a long gravel road around Gjeller Odde that lead us on a narrow piece of land between wetlands and the fjord – and farther along the coast towards Harboøre, today's destination.
The final stretch before the dunes along the North Sea took us among large fields of flowering rapeseeds.
Surprised to suddenly pass a tiny railroad stop named "Victoria Street Station", but I guess it's fine to get something back from across the North Sea after the old Vikings added so much to the English language back then when Denmark was an "empire".
Late in the afternoon and after 65 enjoyable kilometers (mostly with back wind), we arrived in Harboøre where we are presently "camped" in a B&B.
All in all: A splendid biking day.
Prediction: Logistics and terrain tomorrow will be very different from today.
