Saturday, September 10, Last morning in Denmark

Uncategorized 1 Minute

We started out visiting the small fishing village of Dragor. A quaint village of old wooden houses, some with thatched roofs, wooden fishing boats, a world war 2 famous little boat, and sailing and rowing clubs. We also met some local boys fishing that were nice enough to talk to us!

Boat number 571, the “Elisabeth”, the last surviving of the small fishing boats used to evacuate 700 Jews to Sweden to keep them from being captured by the Nazis in 1943 as the Nazis marched thru Denmark.
I talked to these three boys because they were getting fishing poles ready for action. They are 11 years old, in the fifth grade and told us about the fish they were trying to catch and showed us pics on their phones of big fish they had caught. They also told us about a famous badminton player that came from their town.
This boys name is Axel, same as our grandson and about the same age!

Next…. it’s off to the Ferry terminal for our over night (20hour) ferry boat ride to Oslo, Norway.
