I left Bent P. I drove pretty fast to get to my aunt Grethe in Hobro for lunch. ... We had a great lunch again with all the usual delicacies - pickled herring, liver pate, smoked salmon and all the usual sliced meats and ending with cheese tray and apple cobbler with whipping cream!!! Now you know why I have to pay an excess weight surcharge on the way back!!!! At 18:00 I was at my old friend, Vagn, from my time in the Danish Army -- almost hundred years ago!!! It was great seeing him again and his wife, Karen.I left Bent P. I drove pretty fast to get to my aunt Grethe in Hobro for lunch. ...
