Thursday 30 June - Frederiksvaerke

Having sort of got used to it not getting dark, last night we closed all the blinds fully so we were somewhat surprised at the time when we got up. Not even Jamie had stirred and as there are very few people staying on site at the moment nothing disturbed us - we'd got used to the nearby level-crossing warning bells every 10-15 mins.

A greyish day with rain, as forecast again, threatening. Once again the awning was deployed (we rarely leave it out overnight) enabling us to air the van out but, having decided we'll take Jamie for a walk into the town, the showers returned so relaxation in the van was the order of the day. However after a late lunch the sun came out again so, carrying waterproofs just in case, we sallied forth to investigate the town and maybe do a little shopping.

Frederiksvaerke really doesn't have much going for it, it's a very nice but ordinary dormitory town typical of Denmark with a pedestrianised main shopping street having everything you would ordinarily need. Despite being on the Roskilde Fjord there doesn't seem to be any maritime connection, water being limited to a canal/river running through the town. However it has suited us for our purpose.

Late on pack everything away and showers, ready for a, hopefully, earlier getaway in the morning. We've no particular objective, just take the pretty way and enjoy whatever we find.
