We spent Pentacost vacation in Denmark this year. One week on Romo just across the Danish-German border on the North Sea and one week in Dalby Huse on the Iselfjord about an hour west of Copenhagen. Given it was early in the summer, the weather made a tolerable showing. Each week we had a day or two in the rain. Those days we either hung out inside or just braved the weather. Romo was cool and very very windy. Temperatures were around 14°C most of the time. Later in the week it warmed up to the high teens and low twenties.

Romo is primarily a beach resort. We stayed in a vacation home about 300-400 yards from the ocean. About 200 yards of that is a flat sand beach. You can take cars on the beach, too. We dug in the sand and flew kites and played in the water. Andrea and Kathryn went horseback riding. We also visited the local towns of Ribe, Tonder and Mogeltonder.

Dalby Huse is another vacation colony. The house we had was not nearly as nice as the one in Romo, but it was certainly big enough. From there we visited Frederiksborg, a former royal residence, and Helsinggor, a toll keep within sight of the Swedish coast and location for the play Hamlet. We also spent a day and a half in Copenhagen taking in the sites and visiting Tivoli.
