Denmark Cycling trip - day 2

-
There is a newly built bridge connecting the island of Fyn with the island of Sjaelland (Sealand).
It is forbidden to cycle on this bridge, so this morning we took a short train ride with our bikes across the waters.
We cycled through vast farm lands dotted with small villages and wind mills.
The hills were a bit steeper and longer and our behinds a bit more sore.
We stopped to picnic at a small village market since we could not find a place to eat.

We arrived at our hotel in the town of Naestved by 3pm after cycling about 60km.
In a nice cafe' behind an old church we had our first coffee of the day.
We strolled the cobbled streets of the city and had an early dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
