This is just to say that I arrived in Hirtshals yesterday evening and will be catching the Smyril Line ferry this afternoon for the Faroe Islands, crossing the North Sea between Scotland and Scandinavia.  I traveled without mishaps from Pleigne, through Basel, to Hamburg, then to Kiel and Flensburg.  From Flensburg I cycled to Hobro, then took a train to Aalborg and further to Hirtshals.  There is too much to tell, but the stories will come later.  Now it’s time for breakfast, photographs, and exploring.  Oh, and laundry.
