Back in Skagen
Back in Skagen we walked down to call at the Skagen watch shop. There we were offered a glass of fizz while we looked around the shop.
The pedestrian areas were by now very busy with passengers and tourists . The taxi driver had told us that the population of Skagen grew from a couple of thousand to over fifty thousand in the Summer months.
Our ice cream shop was very busy but we did manage to say thank you for the phone call and buy a couple of waffles with ice-cream which we ate outside on one of their tables.
The street had lots of shops and at the end we stopped outside the church to watch everyone arriving for a wedding.
Back off the street was a plaza where we went for a rest and to have a local beer. These were the beers in the leaflet that I had picked up earlier.
Walking to the Vippfyret
On the way back from Grennen the taxi driver had pointed out the wooden light house that looked more like a medieval siege engine. This was only lit once a year on Midsummers Day when a street party took place along with bonfires and lots of celebrations around the site.
We walked to the wooden lighthouse through the residential streets. The houses followed the same pattern of colours on their walls and roofs.
Once at the lighthouse the bridal party were just finishing taking pictures.
The lighthouse was on a small mound I could see the beach that lead to Grennen and the other way the fishing port.
Rather than walk back through the same streets we walked back alongside the beach and then the fishing port.
When we reached the railway lines we could see where the shuttle bus had dropped us off.
