But I wasnt searching for the Big Five in Tanzania.
The next morning I drove west, then south along the coast.
My first stop was Blavand, a town on the windswept Blavandshuk headland.

I broke for lunch atHr.
Skov,a cafe and specialty-foods shop founded by chef Claus Skov in 2007.
I climbed it to get a birds-eye view of the surrounding marshes.

From there, the drive to the eastern coast was only about 25 miles.
Our group scattered across the banks and some of us started shucking.
Day 4
I awoke to a basket of warm pastries that Fenn had left at my door.

But first, I spent the morning in Ribe, Denmarks oldest town.
It was a cool fall day, but I gladly accepted the cone and went on my way.
