Spring at the Beach
To end the season, we decided to spend a couple of weeks in Denmark in order to catch up with the family, and give Tina's mum plenty of time with Silje.
While we may have unlucky with the snow in Austria, we certainly got plenty of sunshine. That is one of the amazing things about living in the Alps - while the rest of Europe suffocates under a thick blanket of perpetual winter cloud, the Alps are normally bathed in sun thanks to the mountain's micro-climate. Despite the cold, it was still possible to wear t-shirt, shorts or even sunback in minus 0 temps - provided you were in direct sunlight. Back in Scandinavia, I now remember why I found my first winter here so hard. We left 24C sunburn days in the Tirol and arrived to 7C Danish spring. There might be 'day'light until 9pm already, but the wet, 40kt winds do tend to put a damper on things. Which brings us to our walk along the beach. Our cottage is only 400m from the Baltic Sea so we try to walk along the beach every morning. Some days are not as nice as others however.
