Another day of driving. This time, around Hamburg, with heavy traffic and regular delays caused by narrow lanes due to roadworks. The dock area around Hamburg was immense, viewed from the road. After a stop for lunch on the A7, we motored on till mid afternoon, crossing the border into Denmark. This was loosely controlled by a narrowing of the road into one lane only and police eyeing each vehicle travelling at a snail's pace. We then made our way on minor roads to our planned overnight stop. There are only two spots here for campervans. It is an isolated smallholding which also does B&B. We were made very welcome. The bathroom facilities are in the house. It is very quiet except we are parked next to a chicken run. There is a cockerel but it remains to be seen whether we are woken in the early hours by its crowing.
Since we arrived, there has been a thunder storm and rain lasting around an hour but it has now stopped. Tomorrow, we can have a shorter driving day as we start our planned meander up the west coast of Denmark.

A relaxed departure, allowing time for
a good chat with neighbouring Campervanners on their way home to
Switzerland after 6 weeks touring around Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
About our age. Sadly their bikes had been stolen in Copenhagen two
weeks ago, so they were heading home a bit early, but had otherwise
had a wonderful time.
After a sticky journey, including a
mass of roadworks around Hamburg, we arrived at our present site
about 4 pm. We are the only ones in what feels like the back garden
of a B&B just into Denmark. We have chickens on one side, and
horses peering through the fence on the other side, and have been
presented with two home grown cucumbers. Apparently guests are
usually given eggs, but with a full house the hens have only produced
enough for breakfast tomorrow. This is Airbnb for campervans!
More thunderstorms and lots of rain
this evening, so feels a bit cooler now.
