A great weekend in Denmark

[linne]

We spent our annual weekend with old friends on a small Danish Island in the Northern Jutland, named Mors.

Thought that some of you might like to see pics from the trip.


On the way to the island we first visited the worlds biggest limestone mines

Next was a visit to a micro brewery on Fur, another small island, where they make some of the best beer in Denmark

Had a delicious lunch there and of course beer.


We arrived to Mors late afternoon and stayed on a youth hostel there, the hostel was not a very elegant place, but it was clean and cosy and close to the water (I have arranged the trip this year, and hubby and I prefer position for luxury).

In the morning we woke up to this sight

After the lunch we went sightseeing. The island is very beautiful with big moler (white clay) cliffs and an attractive landscape.

We had some delicious food experiences. Some of the specialities on the island are mussels and shrimps and perhaps most of all fried eels with potatoes in white sauce. Uhm, to eat that with a good beer and a schnapps to - cannot be better.

Some didn’t want the eels and had, what is named a “shooting star” in Danish, fried and cooked fillets of fish with shrimps etc. What’s the English name?

Yummo! It looks as if Danes know how to cook scrumptious looking food. Scenery was beautiful too.

What's the average temp in Denmark at this time of year? It definitely looks like fall over there too.

Yes, we have fall just now, and the colours are so beautiful. The temperature is about 10- 15 degrees
Celcius, but we have had some nights about zero.
We were lucky, when we were on Mors, because we had sunshine both days. Last weekend it was rain.

Your temps are about the same as ours at this time of year.

... a sunny weekend on a pretty island with old friends sharing delicious food - wonderful! I enjoyed hearing about the trip and especially liked the photos of the island; always interesting to learn about new places.
Thanks, linne.
