The Great Danish Train Journey

Denmark's rail system apologises for being late by offering a $10 ticket for the whole country on one day a year. We took advantage of the offer by making a tour of Jutland in our mission to see the 'West Coast'.

In total, 7 or 8 hours of (not always exciting) rail travel ...

Through the land of wind-turbines and endless flat plains ...
To see some giant white statues.

A great adventure nonetheless!

Hugh's preparation

Read some internet sites re the Camino
Walked 10km/day (including some steps and rucksac days)
Went to Spanish classes and did some practice with language records (hablo castellano un poco)

Sandy got the gear organised

Friends said what a great idea it was

I hope they are right!
