June 2017
We were in Skagen in 2014 on our way to catch the ferry to Gothenburg, Sweden. I thought Skagen was just a name of a watch company, then I discovered it actually was a town at the land’s end. If you Google Skagen, the watch comes up before the town, though.
We drove past the ferry port in Frederikshavn and drove up north as much as we could. There was nothing much too see, thus, we turned back and stopped in Skagen. We did not spend a lot of time there. It just looked like a sleepy little town with nothing much going on.
We were again in Skagen in June of 2017 as a cruise stop during our Baltic cruise. This time we walked off the ship and walked for about 15 minutes or so to get to the center of the town. The town turned out to be much bigger than we first thought. The main shopping street was filled with shops, and side streets were filled with cafes and restaurants.
We had to have seafood for lunch. We walked over to the dockside from the shopping area and went into one of the restaurants there. We ordered fish & chips and some beer and ate at a picnic table outside. It was a pleasant afternoon as long as you could forget about the money you were paying for an essentially fast food lunch.
