On both sides of Skagerrak

Stena line runs over the night from Oslo to Frederikshavn along the beautiful Oslo fjord. During our last day in Oslo we spent time in Popsenteret. It mainly focused on the Norwegian pop music, however, it was easy to recognize the same styles and music genres that I remember from sixties seventies etc… One difference was that Norwegians have had more internationally famous artists visiting than we. They had e.g. Beatles and Van Morrison concerts.

On Danish side we took a train from Frederikshavn to Skagen. The Youth hostel was told to be very near the station, but we learned that it would have been the previous stop before Skagen. Although only 1,5 km:s walk but after early wake up and some extra kilometers walk due to choosing wrong way in Frederikshavn we really envied bikers of all ages, that were passing us. The friendly lady at the youth hostel advised us from where we can rent the bikes, and those we needed as it was several kilometers to Grenen the tip of the Skagen where waters from Kattegat and Skagerrak meet, or you could say Baltic and North sea.

We had our swinming suits, but did not use them.

There were several big boats all the time around. Every boat from Baltic to the Atlantic has to pass this old Grey lighthouse
