For three days we have been in Denmark. Having spent one night sleeping in the open air on a football pitch, we made it directly from Kolding to Mygdal to Peter Kuchinke. Unfortunately we haven’t had a chance to make glass yet, as Peter has to sort out a furnace from Italy in Fraunau. Over the last few days we have explored our surroundings: once to two glass workshops in Lonstrup and on to the seaside, where everyone seems to be circling in cars searching for parking spots! Not being able to do anything here, got a bit much for us yesterday. We made our way to Hirtshals, despite everyone thinking that it wouldn’t be possible as hitchhiking is not common here. Every time someone drove by without stopping we were disappointed, until finally a tractor took us part of the way. Two Danes, Kim and Maria gave us a brilliant tour of Hirtshals, after having teased us by slowing down and then driving away. We climbed the only lighthouse which had an amazing view, followed by a full tour of the harbour and then they took us home. Now we are going to make our way to Skagen to Jonas Brus Staehr. Let’s see whether we can finally get to use some pipes!
