Saturday

We spent today exploring Odense. A city of 180,000 and the regional capital of FUNEN
(the central island of Denmark). Odense was the home to Hans Christian Anderson and they are certainly proud of their local son. A 25% sales tax seems to be what makes Denmark slightly more expensive than other parts of Europe and the UK so it has been a matter of looking a little more closely at the cost of the evening meal....The weather has been warmer than expected - around 20 degrees today, so we have been dragging out the T-shirts from the bottom of the case. Odense has been a pleasant place to experience as our first encounter with Denmark. Tomorrow we head onto Copenhagen.
