We were back home in Varde, Denmark and one day we decided to have one of those traditional meal experience from the good old days – or so my hubby calls it. So we took out his son and the son’s girlfriend out for dinner at Hodde Kro. A ‘kro’ is an old style restaurant serving traditional food where they also usually have rooms for rent (like an inn).
During our road trip in Denmark, we had dinner at a small cosy Italian restaurant, Casablanca. It was located by the waterfront in Grenå, right across the Kattegatcentret. It was a nice area, although I must tell you I could be biased because in my opinion, anything near water is nice 
During our visit to Oslo, we stayed at the Holmenkollen Park Rica Hotel. Since we took a mini-cruise package which included the mini-cruise, hotel accommodation and breakfast plus one additional meal, we chose to have our dinner at the hotel. The restaurant that was appointed to serve the additional meal was De Fem Stuer, one of their in house restaurant which seems to specialize in fine dining. We were excited to see what kind of culinary adventure awaits us.
The weekend after we came back from our mini cruise to Oslo, we went on the planned road trip to several places in Denmark: Himmelbjerget (or the heaven’s mountain, although its peak goes nowhere near heaven 
) which they claim to be the highest mountain (but we later learned it was only the second highest natural point to Møllehøj), Silkeborg, Mønsted kalkgruber (chalk/lime mine), Den Gamle By (the old town) in Århus, Grenå Kattegatcentret (salt water aquarium), and ended the road trip with a visit to Djurs sommerland.
During our summer holiday this year, my hubby and I went to Denmark. Unlike other normal holidays, this time we arranged smaller trips together with his children. Since they could not match up their schedule, we planned two trips: a mini cruise to Oslo with his daughter (plus husband and son) and a road trip in Denmark with his son (plus girlfriend). This arrangement suited me just fine, since it also meant we get to go to many more places
