Traveling to Ribe and Mando

Blogging into the past...


Our house secure we headed for Jutland, the part of Denmark that is not an island. We were traveling by car in a little 4-door peugeot (sorry no picture) and went first to the town of Ribe, which is the oldest one in Denmark. We went into the cathedral, and also to the top of it. The kids were amazed by the cathedral and the stories told in the pictures.

Ribe is famous for some other things. Apparently there are a lot of beautiful doors. We did see some, but I was a bit more taken with the flowers.
Ribe is also the city of the storks. Or, it is famous for them. Alas, none came this year, and only one came last year. But they still have nexts for them. The one below is on the city hall.

After Ribe we went to an island just off the coast called Mando. It is basically a high point in an enormous tidal flat. We walked off shore...


This is a very nice area. We enjoyed our time there (just 1 day), and learned a lot.
