Nico took us to the island of Sylt today. Sylt is the German version of the French Riviera but like chalk and cheese. Although is is officially still summer, the weather was anything but and in fact everybody was dressed as if going skiing. Sylt can be reached from Denmark by ferry or from Germany by train. We took the ferry from Romo in Denmark and spent the day touring the island. Had lunch in Westerland after a long walk along the boardwalk, for which we had to pay - something like 3 euros each - and no seniors discount! However, that price included a concert and amazing sights - never have we seen so many seniors in one area - certainly the place to be if you are looking for a geriatric! But since we each have one that wasn't a problem.
Then drove to the northernmost village and continued to be amazed at the beautiful houses, mostly all thatched. Sylt is a haven for rich people apparently and that was obvious by the number of exclusive shops and galleries, none of which I was able to investigate! Doesn't really matter as I have my bag full of Dimmey's and Target numbers anyway!!!
After coffee, cake and a beer we then drove the car onto the car-train back to the mainland and have just arrived home after a fantastic day.
