The last weekend od may was crazy. Again, we rented a car with a bunch of happy people and did a few roadtrips. Vejle, Aalborg, Frederikshavn and Skagen.
The highlight of the day was the Aalborg Carnival, a massive open-street party which is the largest festial of this type in northern Europe. This was utterly wild. thousands of people dressed up in fancy or funny costumes dancing and drinking on the shut-down-for-traffic streets in a massive parade. An unforgettable experience. The weather was spectacular, perfectly sunny with 27 degrees Celsius. Out of caution I did not take a digital camera, to see how it looked like you have to wait for my analog film.
After the Carnival we drove up to Frederikshavn where we stayed overnight because it was close to Skagen where we went the following day. We arrived there in the late afternoon and after a full day of partying in the hot Aalborg, we were desperate to chill on a beach. Luckily enough, there is one very peculiar beach in Frederikshavn.
It is called the palm beach. A PALM BEACH. IN NORTHERN DENMARK.
We found this hilarious, actually. The Danes sure tried to make themself feel better in their cold, Danish weather. But when we went there on a charming sunny day, it was genuinely nice. The water was too cold to go for a swim (however my friends didn't mind that and splashed around) but I wouldn't expect anything else from Kattegat in the beginning of summer.
Next morning we drove up to the town of Skagen. At first we parked by the harbour and walked along.
We climbed up a Lighthouse for the nice view:
And finally we went for a walk to the famous Point. The Most northern point of Denmark, where waters of Kattegat and the Northern Sea meet.
To reach it we had to walk through a vast and ery beautiful beach.
And just by the Point... we made a new friend!
And this is it. Congratulations. You have reached the end of Denmark.
Next we drove to the Moving Dunes (Råbjerg Mile). A few square kilometres of sand which move with the wind. When you stand there in the middle of it it really does make a great impression of enormous spaces. As a last attraction we drove to a famous lighthouse, but the weather broke down before we could reach it and we just saw it from afar.
