Odense

So I bade farewell to Germany and hello to Scandinavia, starting with Denmark. It comprises a peninsula, Jutland, joined to the European mainland, and lots of islands. The two most populous islands are Funen, which is joined to Jutland by short bridges, and Zealand, where Copenhagen is, which was connected to Funen only by ferry before the Great Belt Fixed Link bridge was completed in 1998.


I made a stopover in Odense on Funen to visit the Hans Christian Andersen Museum. It was the childhood home of the author. If I recall correctly, it is the yellow house and the building with the sun motif is a theatre.


This is a rather ordinary looking building so I'm guessing it's the youth hostel I stayed at in Odense.
