Frederikshavn, Denmark

Samuel and I boarded this huge Curious George ship headed from Gothenburg, Sweden to Frederikshavn, Denmark on Saturday morning. It was a celebration of 2 years of marriage :)


Frederikshavn was beautiful but Saturdays and Sundays in Scandinavia are not good times to head out on the town! Everything closed shortly after our boat cruised up, and we didn't have anything to do! Literally. The streets were barren and wet and super quiet. But we went out exploring anyway... and I longingly window-shopped at it's truest form...
Ukulele's for sale! In Denmark!? Mine is currently broken, so I longed to stop in and have a look, but I will soon get another one from Hawaii... the birthplace of the Ukulele :)

Samuel and I were craving Mexican. It's a rare-find in these parts but we asked around and heard that there was one nearby.... well we just couldn't find it, or maybe we were too hungry to endure the hunt... and settled on Thai instead. Several hours later we stumbled upon this Los Hombros but weren't hungry enough to eat again! We decided to share a nacho appetizer anyway, and did so under a huge Elvis statue :)

As soon as we sat down , we realized that at that exact moment 2 years earlier, we were probably having our first wedded-kiss. So we reminisced on love, life and our adventurous romantic story :)


The hotel offered an elaborate Sunday morning breakfast and was American-themed :)
It's so funny to me that 'America' is such a popular design for house decor and even clothing here in Europe. It just makes me feel at home :)
We thought we should eat a real Danish with coffee while in Denmark... but I settled on a chocolate cupcake instead :)
