Aeroskobing was a mere eight mile motor from last night's rather dull harbour at Soby. No wind, and thank heaven no rain, just dark blue sea and bright blue sky with the usual cotton wool clouds. And when we arrived it was our good fortune to find yet another 'alongside' berth - no need to struggle getting into a box berth and climbing over the bow.
We set out to explore Aeroskobing - a place known for its historic beauty and simple Danish charm. It was a very pleasant and relaxing walk. The pictures show the town pumps, and various striking doors and windows of 17th century cottages in the winding cobbled streets.
But it was much much quieter than we expected. Aeroskobing is a honeypot for tourists in high summer but this is very much out of season. Look at the picture of Nic with his strange grey icecream - liquorice flavoured! The woman who served it told us the shop will close next week, until Easter 2018.
The Danish mania for displaying the national flag continues. We spotted a lovely old dinghy (see pic) with an oar bearing the conspicuous red and white flag.
We did a small top-up shop for food, and we are now counting the days to the end of this cruise, so we had to avoid over buying. Tonight Nic is cooking turkey breasts - we don't often have fresh meat so it will be a treat.
