We were excited to see a Mexican restaurant while driving around the other day (haven't seen any in Europe) and when we went there the next day and looked at the menu outside, we couldn't believe how expensive it was! It would've cost us $30 for one burrito. We got a pizza instead, which only cost us $20. Everything is SO expensive here! The restaurant at our hotel charges $20 for one dessert. They also have a different currency in Denmark than the rest of Europe, even though they are part of the European Union. It is called the Danish Krone, or DKK. Five kroner equal one US dollar.
Our hotel is the first one we've been to in Europe that has a pool and jacuzzi, so we spent some time there yesterday. The kids loved it. Lily is pretty fast in the water! Bella even joined in.
The best news is that Dann and Brian won their first-round match yesterday, which was super close! I stayed at the hotel this time, since these matches are indoor (on hard courts) and sounds are amplified, and there's really no place for the kids to play. They will play again tomorrow (Thursday). There is live scoring online if you go to the tournament's website.
We celebrated the win with a nice dinner out! Thanks to Mark who watched Sam and Lily, Dann, Brian and I (and Bella) got to go to the player's party dinner, which was held at a castle, called Koldinghus, which was built for the Denmark royalty in the mid 13th century. The food was excellent and we had a great time! We took several pictures, but the lighting was quite dim, so most of them don't look great. Here are a few...
