Day 6 and 7

Day 6

On 8/4 we finally got to see my mom!

She was released from the hospital but had to go to a nursing home as sort of a half way house for a few days, so nurses can keep an eye out for her and make sure she eats etc. (My mom has gotten really skinny lately)

 

We just hung around and took it easy most of the day

Here’s a pretty typical Danish lunch.

Rye bread (which is sort of similar now to Dave’s killer bread from Costco but more dense and grainy)

Then there’s butter and the top slice had Cod roe (from a can) and Remoulade which is not really like tartar sauce but more mayo like.

Then bottom slide is mackerel in a tomato sauce with mayo.

It’s really yummy!!

The next day we went to Skagen and Grenen which is the northern tip of Denmark, two oceans actually splash against each other – Kattegate and the North Sea, and depending on the tide you can walk out onto sand and stand with waves coming from both sides.

 We had to take a bus/tractor out to the tip as it’s pretty far to walk

Skagen is the town that’s the closest to the Northern tip and there’s a rule that all the houses HAVE to be painted this specific yellow color with a red roof, it’s pretty neat to see!

It’s also a harbor town so it was a bit “fishy” smelling 😉

For lunch we ate at an Italian restaurant

There was also a hard candy factory near by where we saw then roll out the candy and then a huge roll is put into a machine that both squeezes it tight and stretches it

and then it spits out little candies and cuts them too, they also gave out samples, Sonja was a bit hesitant! ha ha

the flavor was banana and licorice!

Here’s  pictures from a bakery

We also went to a teddy bear museum, these two look a lot like my mom’s old bear that I have sitting in my sewing room at home, don’t think it was a name brand bear, my mom told me it was a display bear at a clothing store!

Then we finished the afternoon with more ice cream, Sonja and I split a waffle cone bowl with 3 scoops and with SKUM (foam) on top, it’s a sort of flavored egg white I think.

One scoop was licorice and one was smarties or M&Ms for Sonja and I forgot the third scoop.

That night Camilla had invited over the neighbor campers for dinner too and we had this chocolate cake for dessert with marzipan on top (yeah I’m gonna get fat from this trip!??- though I am walking a lot more than I normally do)

More pics to show later!
