Powered by Nature: How we went shopping in Germany

 



Hotel Amerika was the only accommodation on the whole trip where we didn't have breakfast included. However, it was possible to get it at a price of 19 euros per person. We walked down to the cafe in the morning to see what caviar was offered for that money. About 3-4 varieties of meat and the same amount of cheese were displayed. Eggs and cake were available on request. And coffee. We decided that for 38 euros we could buy the same stuff from Aldi and at least a week full of breakfasts would be taken care of. We got on the road and stopped at the first roadside bar and started the day with hot dogs and French fries.

Since Germany was so close, we decided to make a quick shopping trip there - to stock up on cosmetics and groceries. At about two o'clock it was all done and we drove to Odense in Denmark, known as the birthplace and hometown of Hans Christian Andersen.

We took our things to the room and went out to explore the city. We walked around downtown and the old town. The latter was practically empty of people and we enjoyed these beautiful little houses and flower-filled streets.

Finally we also found a restaurant to eat. Cafe Vivaldi looked aristocratic with its high ceilings and white tablecloths. The girl walked us to the table and handed us two menus in Danish language. She also announced that we from there we are on our own - orders must be placed at the counter. We went to ask for an English menu and it turned out they didn't have one. However, since there was a short menu outside next to the entrance to dupe tourists, Scott took a picture of it and we used it as a menu. Trying to place the order, he stumbled upon the next hurdle - the girl behind the counter could not understand any of the English foods and asked Scott to use the Danish menu to place the order instead. Food was ok. And almost what we ordered.
