Koldinghus Castle

Today we left our B&B after another hearty Danish breakfast and cycled on to Kolding on the mainland. At lunch we stopped at the fantastically named Middlefart. Kolding Danhostel was the first we hadn't booked, we didn't know the weather would go so we didn't book in advance, which we probably should have done as we just managed to get the last room when we arrived!

After unloading and having a shower we went for an explore round town. Like almost all the towns we've been too, its cycle and pedestrian safe in the most, pretty and the shops close early so good for window shopping if you arrive late!

Today's blip is the Koldinghus an ancient royal castle, that the Spanish who were billeted in in during the Napoleonic wars burnt to the ground by accident. Restoration was completed in 1991, the tower to the right of the picture is the only bit that survived the fire and is apparently more original, the rest is a twentieth century rebuild.
