Cycling in Denmark - Day 3
Cycling long distances in designated bike paths is a pleasure.
Most of the small villages do not offer much for the passing tourist.
Not a cafe' or a restaurant or even a local shop.
Only in the cities can we get real food.
We do stop at least once a day by a roadside stand at the edge of a field, that sells fresh strawberries on the honor system.
Just place the money in a small box and enjoy the sweet juicy strawberries.
Today we arrived at the island of Mons after cycling around 40 km.
We sat in an open air cafe' on the water and had a lovely lunch of salads, roasted potatoes and local beers.
We toured the old churches and enjoyed the 600 year old frescoes which had painted biblical themes done in a whimsical and amateurish way and were a very refreshing departure from the traditional well executed frescoes around the world.
For dinner in our hotel, we made a special request of sauteed summer vegetables and new potatoes which were delicious.
