Cycling in Denmark - Day 7
Today is another "rest" day.
We will cycle to the wild life park and visit two small islands.
Yesterday was a relatively easy day of only 47 Km.
We cycled through farms and villages, had a picnic lunch across a large lake.
We arrived at our hotel in Maribo by early afternoon.
Maribo has the feeling of an old Florida beach town.
It is full of retirees, boutiques that cater to their fashion and almost no good food.
We ate dinner in our hotel and luckily had a very good vegetarian meal.
We are having a wonderful time cycling in Denmark, but if you take away the cycling element from our trip, I am not sure that I would have enjoyed this trip as much.
The US dollar is so low that everything in Denmark is very pricey.
A dinner in a modest restaurant of two main courses and two beers is over $100 USD.
Hotel rooms that in the USA would be priced at $150 a night or less, are priced here at $400.
We have not stayed in a single luxury hotel, because in the areas we are cycling, there are none.
Most hotel rooms are clean with comfortable beds and a serviceable shower with no sign of luxury and they all come at high USD prices.
The food is good and fresh but nothing memorable.
The cycling in the quiet fields, the lovely villages, the trees brimming with cherries and apples, the strawberries from the fields and the lovely scenery is what makes this trip enjoyable.
