Map of journey first week from Grenen, Denmark to almost Schleswig, Germany

We started off at the northern-most tip of Denmark, [personal profile] temve and [personal profile] franzi1981 kindly doing the ceremonial "one-foot-in-each-sea" on all of our behalf :)

We headed down through the Jutland peninsulae, passing Aalborg, Denmark's fourth biggest town/city, and Aarhus, Denmark's second biggest city.

Point of interest: While we were passing through Aalborg, it was actually Denmark's fifth biggest city, due to the tent camp at the Roskilde Festival being Denmark's fourth biggest city for that week.

We made it past the Danish/German border, and almost to Schleswig, Germany.

So, where do we want to go next? Keep on south and see if we can make it all the way to the German/Austrian border? Or head west for the Benelux tour and [ba-ri], or maybe east for Eastern Europe - Budapest, maybe?

42 miles, 2.5 hours, so far for the month.

It's fun to imagine running through different countries rather than the same old paths and trails at home!
