https://traffordhistory.org/lookingback/nay2xqjdvl0 Leaving the dock area and ready to explore the small town of Fredericia, there were all sorts of interesting sights to see. First, a row of Danish flags accompanied by a rainbow to welcome us.

Who ever thought those bumps of rock were a good enough idea that they should last for centuries, they might have had a stronger constitution than the one I possess.

I did get this photo of Joseph and Child, but we didn’t have time to go inside. Not my favorite way to see a place, but sometimes it’s better to compromise and get an overall feel for a place.

https://boxfanexpo.com/3kvnkm8mc3 We did have quite a bit of time to explore St. Michael’s Church — both the interior and the churchyard. And it was well worth exploring. Recently renovated, its simple design and ornamentation were quite remarkable.

From the year 1687 the garrison of the town belonged to the church and the church is still a garrison church as well as being an ordinary parish church.

Gotta take a documentary photo of the boot garden!

Also need documentary proof of the cone with its ice cream composed of dripping plants.

And at the end of the day, we pulled out of the harbor and headed into the sunset.

This evening we are on our way to Kiel, Germany and then we will traverse the Kiel Canal on our way to Hamburg.
