A morning thought:
In a car, it's difficult to do anything beyond very passive entertainment when travelling long distances, so it's hard to imagine that travel can be at all productive.

But yesterday's 5 hour train trip and evening on the ferry, was some of the most genuinely productive + creative time I've had all year.
The car/plane teaches us that travel is dead time, but the train shows its time we can use imaginatively.

And indeed. Shank's pony the last half hour to the ferry. Glad I only have a small rucksack.
Next time I'll bring a bike..

Edit: To be fair to : they do have a shuttlebus that connects in . But then I'd have missed North Jutland trains, perhaps next time..

Well the lightning train was indeed only lightningish, but perfectly on time, so it's on to train number 3, the local service from to Hjørring with the magic word down the side... (Not much sign of the famous Skagen light today, perhaps we need to get closer). This is actually the second time I will be in sneezing distance of the famous tip of and I *still* haven't managed to visit...
