We slept well at the rest stop we found, but now both me and Mom are fed up with the constant wind blowing. Lucy hates it even more and is giving Mom a hard time by pulling in all different directions, but only once did it worry me when a specially strong side wind got a hold of her. Luckily no other cars were on the road at the time.

When we drove over the bridge we discovered the more interesting bunker was on the south side. Here you can clearly see the "footprints" of Germans

As far as wind, Denmark was a pioneer in developing commercial wind power during the 1970s, and today a substantial share of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers. Here wind power produced the equivalent of 47% of Denmark's total electricity consumption in 2019, an increase from 43.4% in 2017, 39% in 2014, and 33% in 2013. In 2012, the Danish government adopted a plan to increase the share of electricity production from wind to 50% by 2022 and to 84% by 2035. Denmark had the 4th best energy architecture performance in the world in 2017 according to the Worl economic forum, and the second-best energy security in the world in 2019 according to the same agency. Norway is number one.

There are windmills almost everywhere and no increase in cancer or piles of dead birds

this is a row of mills and from this angle, they looked wild. 

We went to a Viking village  (there are several of them here in Denmark) and every tent had a smokey fire smoldering 

Mom of course hated that so she didn't bother trying out any of the things you could do here.

There isn't much to say about his place other than it's pretty well done and was worth a quick visit

their Gods weren't very good looking 

I bet the kids must love this gameplay just running around having fun and getting their picture taken by tourists like us

I tried to get some attention here thinking they must be eating something, but nope and that Mom didn't let her kid pet me?

Mom said he might have been allergic to dogs like so many seem to be here, impossible I say  

Finally, I found something to eat. This lady was chewing on a carrot and she bit off a small piece for me, but I quickly grabbed the larger one she held in her other hand. That made everyone laugh at me.

I don't care, I got the carrot.

We left this place Mom complaining about stinking like she's been stuck in an underground smoke-filled jazz club

 so I'm sure we'll end up on a campsite and showers tonight. I hope she doesn't plan to involve me in that 

The next stop on the way south was this monument she read about, but when we got to that city named Esbjerg it was packed with people everywhere. Streets cut off and impossible to get around...................What's going on? 

It was a tall ship festival

It was hell to navigate around the crowded streets so Mom was about to give up when a young man gave her advice on how to get around it all, and we eventually did it.

Unveiled in 1995 the quartet of sculptural titans known collectively as the art piece, Man Meets the Sea is a timeless tribute to man’s contemplative nature. 

The piece was designed by Svend Wiig Hansen and is meant to have a universal appeal to represent all men as opposed to any one ethnicity. They are, 27-foot-tall figures and the stark white statues are completely devoid of decoration, allowing visitors to map their own contemplative thoughts onto the figures, and their own countenances across the statues’ blankly staring faces. Although the figures may look alike, keen observers will find subtle differences among them. We didn't stay long, the wind was beating us up so we didn't look for the differences, maybe next time.

All Mom wanted now was to get the hell out of this town and to find a shower.

As we are leaving town we saw something that looked like a sea of gray whales??? 

It was wings for the wind turbines, but nowhere to stop for pictures so Mom took a not very good one as we drove by

Those are enormous............

we found a campsite and Mom got her shower and we slept great listening to the never-ending wind.

It's now 8 am and today's plan is to drive to the ferry on the Elbe in  Germany hoping it'll finally be less windy.

Nobody should be able to resist my begging face, not even Mom, right?

Life is great

It hasn't been easy to get Mom to help me with my story, because now Mom got a book that completely mesmerized her. The author is from her puppy town and the story is about a woman's life and struggles to live in Northern Sweden from 1896 to 1985. ...

Ever since we arrived in Mom's puppy town she's been sleeping later and later in the mornings, this morning she didn't get up until 7.30, that's a record. I think she's reminiscing back to her teens? Here I'm running after the ball at the same fiel...
