Let’s play follow the lollipop again.

We visited a former castle built for king Christian III around 1539. The various wings were built over time housing a granary and provincial government building. Now it is uniquely a government building. Here is where you come for a divorce. I know, facts you don’t need. Beats me why she thought that was important.

Early history records it’s use to imprison witches.

I’m not sure what to say here...

Internationally known art critic. A slide show of street art follows.

A very romantic street said the guide. Why is it deserted? Is it possible the word romantic is a euphemism? You decide.

Christian Studsgaard was pastor of the church in 1787, right? If you placed the owners of your house on the front door, how many lived there before you?

On our way to the town square.

The best I could get out of my hearing aids was: this building belonged to a megalomaniac who was shunned from membership in the local government. I just liked the building.

This is the Cathedral of St. Budolf the smallest cathedral in Denmark. It is said the white façade gives the cathedral a noble expression. The cathedral is named after the Benedictine monk Saint Bodolfus who lived around the year 650-the protector of travelers.

I like old well worn floors. Kierkegaard: To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself.

Ornate, no? In a good way..Another quote from Kierkegaard: Don't forget to love yourself.

Is it possible this is a relative of the man known as the first existentialist? He was a Danish theologian, philosopher and more: “The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”

You are in the town square after sailing the Baltic in the storm tossed sea. After 60 days you return to port. Sitting on a red chair having a cup of coffee thinking existential thoughts, what do you do?

You get up, walk over and introduce yourself, right? BTW, you are single. I’ll bet you can’t buy this furniture at IKEA.

I’m not sure what to call It but I think we would call it a monastery. Nuns were on one side and monks were on the other. It started as a Catholic institution and then became Lutheran however now The rooms are used for flats older individuals. No children allowed. Built for one master it can serve another. Words of wisdom.

We considered adoption...

Another day another successful return to our floating home away from home. It is amazing to us how close the berth was to the cities we visited. The only real stretch was the 6+ hours to visit Berlin. We were very fortunate to have Volker as an exchange student and friend. His tours and tours with his family filled a lot of holes in our knowledge of history, art and modern Berlin. Thanks Volker and Bruni. Great memories. Looking forward to seeing you, Kate and Lizzy next time out. Hopefully Bruni too.
