Today was sort of a take it easy day for us. We started out with a visit to Ikea to purchase some extra shelves for George’s desk so the books he had would settle more stably. From there we visited a couple other shops in the same strip mall but didn’t buy anything. I was sort of hoping to find a CD of some Danish death metal but the electronics store didn’t have music, only movies.
After the stores we drove to Roskilde where we had lunch at a brew house restaurant. I had a burger that was gigantic and I couldn’t finish it. George had the fish soup. The burger was very good. I ordered a Jacobson Dark but the waitress initially brought me a Guinness. No real complaint from me but she replaced it with the correct beer rather quickly.
From there we drove up the coast a bit and then stopped in Hundsted for a short bit to walk around and take a few pictures. It is apparently one of the very last actual fishing towns in Denmark. It was amazingly windy and the weather kept threatening to rain on us but it never really did.
After Hundsted we drove to Helsingor which is the town that has Kronborg Castle which I visited on the first visit to Denmark but we just basically used that as a starting point to drive back down the coast before heading back into the apartment. It meant that we spent a lot of the day driving up and down the coast. It was nice if a bit overcast with a few bits of rain here and there.
After a short breather at the apartment we headed into town to eat at Reinwald’s which is a restaurant that does a different menu every day. We ordered a bottle of shiraz and I got the beef carpaccio followed by the sirloin of beef with new potatoes and fried asparagus. It was perfectly rare and all of it was very tasty. For a dessert I had the fresh strawberries with orange and vanilla ice cream. The strawberries were in fact fresh and sweet.
After dinner we headed back in to the apartment for the night.
