FISHING VILLAGE

Today we made good use of our "passes". We got up and walked to the Metro and took it to a bus location. On the other side of town. The bus took us to a world away in time, but in actuality, it was only 11 K from Copenhagen.

We got off in Dragor, which is a quaint fishing village which has been preserved in time. We walked around the harbor and watched an old salt fisherman bringing in his catch. 

Then we saw a Navy like boat and walked over and talked to the mate, who used to be the Captain, but was "retired" because of his age....76. The ship was actually like our Coast Guard, and they had been out to sea for a memorial of a deceased shipmate. He explained their work which was mostly volunteer. Then we spied some fire department sea divers who were doing practice drills in the sea. Eye candy....oh yeah!
Finally, we strolled along the cobble streets and saw the old thatched roofs and quaint architecture of a time long ago. We ended up in a cozy warm coffee shop for hot chocolate and cappuccinos.....and a "seasonal specialty" pastry. It was such a fun morning seeing how the old ways were preserved...but we had bigger fish to fry for the afternoon......Sweden! So we reversed our transportation and got ready to go to Malmo.
