I had the pleasure of hosting Mike and Majbritt earlier on when they lived on Vancouver Island. Since then, they moved to Denmark.
This meant that we had the opportunity to visit lovely Fyn for a weekend. We would have LOVED to tay longer, but this time around we only had a weekend.
Their home is a cosy little farmhouse style house in the country side surrounded by fields and nature. The night sky was amazing to watch and there was no light pollution, which I enjoyed when I took the dogs out for their evening walks.
The house has everything we needed for our little weekend get away, is was cosy and comfortable and enbaled us to just pull the plug and relax.
They had sent out the house manual beforehand, which was nice. As we arrived in the dark it was great to know exactly how and where to find the door keys and the light switches :-D
when we got inside, we had a lovely welcome note and lots of treats - thank you <3
We just chilled Friday evening and then Saturday we went exploring some of the nearby area. We took the dogs to for a lovely walk at Gyldensteen Nature park area. We had gorgeous Fall weather and I love the season of changing colours.
From there we went to Bogense and strolled around and found the local Manneken Pis! As we've just returned from a visit to Brussels, it was a fun surprise.
not much was open in town, but we had an ice cream at the harbour before heading home and chilling.
Sunday we went for a run, which is a great way to explore the nearby scenery as well.
Fyn is quite flat and their home is in the country side wich gave a peacecul and quiet vibe, that we enjoyed. Bogense is only 10 km away, so it is a perfect mix if you want to shop, go out to eat etc.
The weekend flew by, so we only got a taste of what's there. As it is only about 3 hours drive from my home, we are hoping to return at some point with a bit more time to explore even more.
Majbritt and Mike have a cat, that always go with them when they are away and they graciously let me bring me two easy going senior doggies, which great.
We've met out hosts on a couple of different occasions and they are such a nice and fun couple to be around and super easy to comminicate with.
Fyn may not seem like a hot spot, but I can highly recommend giving it a go and if you do, basing yourself at Majbritt and Mikes home will be a great start and they are excellent exchange partners.
