Day 6: Seeb\u00fcll and Tondern<\/h3>\n

Today I went on a day trip with Renate, Uwe and Richard. We went as far North in Germany as you can go.<\/p>\n

It took a good 2 hours to get there \u2013 travelling on the main non-motorway road which goes from North to South between Denmark and Germany.<\/p>\n

After lunch, our first stop was at the Emil Nolde Museum near Seeb\u00fcll<\/a>. Nolde is an artist who lived in this region of Germany during the war, and the museum is located on the site of the house he built himself, complete with the garden he designed.<\/p>\n

\"\"His paintings are quite abstract, lots of paintings of plants, and he uses some very vivid colours \u2013 no light pastels here!<\/p>\n

Then it was back in the car for the short hop over to Denmark. Passports at the ready \u2013 just in case there is police control. There was no border control today \u2013 but they are getting quite strict at the border these days, because of the refugee situation. Must remember that for when I go to Norway, as I too will be driving over the German-Danish border in July.<\/p>\n

\"\"Once in Denmark we stopped at the small tourist town of Tondern (T\u00f8nder \u00a0in Danish)<\/a>. On a Sunday it was very quiet but it is a very popular town. We had a walk about in the afternoon Sun, and a chance to buy a souvenir.<\/p>\n

Then, back to the car and the drive back to Itzehoe \u2013 we got back at about 17:15.<\/p>\n

During the evening the others came to our place for dinner \u2013 a fantastic meal of sausages and other cuts of meat on the BBQ with potato salad, sauce, brad etc.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s my last night in Itzehoe tonight. I\u2019ve got a good 400km to drive tomorrow, to get to Erfurt \u2013 maybe that\u2019ll take 5\/6\/7 hours? I don\u2019t know \u2013 depends on traffic.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the week: On Tuesday I\u2019m off to Cochem in the Rheinland. Then On Wednesday it\u2019s back towards Cirencester, stopping briefly for a few hours in Calais. I do have a hotel room booked, I hope to get to Calais by 6pm which should give me 7\/8 hours rest, but it will essentially be a 2-day long drive to work, arriving just in time for an 08:00 start on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Gute Nacht,<\/p>\n
