I was last in Skagen 45 years ago as a kid. It has radically changed. Then there where 500 fishing boats

And that’s me (3rd from left) 45 years ago….

Now they are less boats and the ones here are more like this.

While fishing is still very important, I think tourism has overtaken it. With fishing boats replaced by pleasure craft, yachts and gift stores.

Skagen has become a tourist destination. Next week there will be 5,000-6,000 motorcycle enthusiasts here for a long weekend.

I am staying with Grethe, my mother’s cousin, I don’t speak Danish and she no English so sign language helps – google translate doesn’t!
