It's time to say good bye again and very befittingly it is raining again. From Hjørring to Sæby it never stops raining.
It is still raining when we get to the impressive Voergaard Castle. The castle is very old and has a mote right around it. No drawbridge, though. It was removed and the mote enlarged quite some time ago. We are given a very comprehensive guided tour through the castle. It is very old and has had lots of owners, one of whom was a not very nice lady who, as the tale goes, haunted the place for a long time. Eventually she was reburied with a stake through her heart. It must have done the trick for the haunting stopped. But we are told she is still trying to get back.
It is a very grand castle with lots of beautiful original paintings and furniture stretching through several epochs. There are also a few rooms, furnished in various styles, which are occasionally used to accommodate guests, as they had been designed to do.
It is still raining when we arrive at Asaa harbour where we are greeted by the Butlerclub of the Rotary Club of Dronninglund.
It turns out they are not just butlers, but they prepared the wonderful luncheon themselves as well. Once again we are being spoiled.
It is still raining on and off while we are having lunch and also as we continue our journey to Aalborg after brief visits to a marine museum and a gallery.
Luckily as we are greeted by our new hosts in Aalborg it stops raining long enough to get our luggage transferred to their cars without getting wet.
