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

Still related to our short trip to Denmark, we flew back to Indonesia with KLM, so automatically we stopped at Schipol Airport. Since we had a long five hours stopover in Amsterdam, we had plenty of time to walk around and we even took a nap at Yotel located at Lounge 2 near the food court of the Schiphol Airport. By the way, If you’re looking for a place to nap when stuck in transfer at Schiphol Airport, Yotel is the place to go. They have small sized bedrooms that are arranged and decorated in a way that gives you the experience of a first class airline cabin from EUR 65 (for four hours).

During our super fast visit to Denmark to attend a training, we took the opportunity to visit my hubby’s daughter on the weekend after the training concluded. She lives in Sweden, just across the bridge from Copenhagen, in a locality named Kyrkheddinge situated in the municipality of Staffanstorp, Skåne county. We spent two nights there before we had to fly back home to Jakarta.
