Interesting thing I noticed today is that the Danish word for book is bog so the colloquial \u00a0English &#8220;going to the bog&#8221; could mean going to read a book &#8211; which I&#8217;m sure a lot of people do in the bog \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Another first for this or any trip is that the little Udbyh\u00f8j Cable ferry offers free coffee in a takeaway cup &#8211; an excellent idea I thought.

Saw a\u00a0few racing cyclists busy mending punctures but another quiet day although I met two Danish elderly ladies inspecting, what the sign says, is Denmark&#8217;s oldest tree but their English was poor so I couldn&#8217;t really understand how royalty had only given up their land a couple of hundred years ago. Although the crown appears in a lot of places on my travels here.
