"The tent we were sitting in has broken.

My father borrowed money from his friend so we could set up the tent.

We are waiting for the money so we can pay the debt."

[Bikepacking Denmark, Pt. 15] Last day. Forest. Sun. Peace and Quiet. I restarted the fire from last night and toasted my breakfast rolls there. Pretty luxurious.

I’d planned a relatively short (but beautiful) ride straight to Aalborg. One last time in nature. One last time on the trails. And time to reflect on the past few days.

Then there was quite a bit going on in Aalborg. That weekend, they were hosting a kind of regatta for big old sailing ships, and there were thousands of tourists there. Culture shock after 7 days in nature. There was also a big fireworks show that evening, but I didn’t care. I was completely wiped out in my tent and slept.

Early the next day, I took the Flixbus and then the (regional) train back home. ◼︎

[Bikepacking Denmark, Pt. 14] After lunch, I headed north-northwest into the backlands. In some places, the terrain was so hilly that I thought I was in the Sauerland. Unfortunately, on one descent, I also wrecked my 3D-printed lamp mount on the aero bars. Luckily, the lamp didn’t drop.

When I got to the shelter site, I was actually—and contrary to expectations—completely alone. It was a strange feeling. After I’d made a fire and then cooked dinner (pasta and grilled dates), three Danes from the area stopped by to drink beer and have a barbecue. Luckily, they were very nice and kept it reasonably quiet when I eventually crawled into my tent.

[Bikepacking Denmark, Pt. 11] Day 6 was destined to be both the highlight of the trip and the biggest letdown.

At first, though, the day started off sunny, and I spontaneously decided to ride right along the beach instead of taking the planned route. There, I saw a small seal in the wild up close for the first time. At first, it just stared at me, but then I must have seemed scary to it, so it crawled into the water and swam away. I named it William. Robbie William.

After that, I continued toward Skagen, mostly on very nice bike paths and trails. The last sight along the way was the “sand-covered church,” of which only the tower remains.

[Bikepacking Denmark, Pt. 10] My Shelter spot for the night was a few kilometers past Hirtshals, in a forest right behind the beach. There, I met several nice people again, and after sunset, played a few rounds of Uno with a Danish couple and practiced my Danish pronunciation. ;-)
