After a night in Kristiansand, my journey continue to Skagen, Denmark. From Kristiansand, I took Colorline ferry to Hirtshals.

Colorline Ferry |
This journey to 3hrs and 15 mins. I pre-book my buffet breakfast on board but if you forgot to pre-book, you can still pay on the spot and have your breakfast which is 50% cheaper than pre-book. And of course you need to que the line if you never pre-book.

Once reach Hirtshals, I took the train from Hirtshals to Skagen. The conductor is very friendly. They see my face and they know I'm heading to Skagen without asking me and direct me which train to board. i heard Denmark people is friendly and it is very true!!!

My hotel, Strandvejen |
The owner is super friendly. He upgrade me to deluxe room for free since no one is going to stay for that deluxe room anyway. And he say by doing so, he feel happy and is attracting positive energy to himself.

This is suppose how it looks like |
This is where Kattegat (waters between Denmark and Sweden) and the Skagerrak (part of the North Sea) meet.

When I'm there, the wave is very quiet. And this is how it looks like, panorama view.

Must drink in Denmark |
Skagen is very small summer town. I rent a bicycle and you can tour the town within hours.
|
Is totally empty |

Most of the houses painted in yellow |
Skagen used to be a painter's town. There's a reason why most of their houses painted in yellow but I forgot why. If you would like to know more please Google.
At the hotel I stay, there's a kitchen where you can cook. You can buy your grocery at Skagen town which is cheap. Adn that's the end of my day in Skagen by cooking light dinner in my hotel room.
