27.-28.8.2013 / Hotel Koldingfjord, Denmark


I feel like everything on our trip so far has been at least great, if not amazing, awesome or just so cute. Well, from tuesday evening to Wednesday evening was no exception to that as we stayed at one of the most gorgeous hotels I have yet visited. 


On our little holiday we, or I at least, wanted to visit and stay in places, that one wouldn’t maybe normally choose when visiting a new city. As we only stayed a short period of time in one place, being uncomfortable or disappointed wouldn’t last for long, as we would soon already be on our way to the next place.



After a round of golf in Svedala, we drove trough Malmö, over the big bridge of Oresund to Denmark continuing our way over the second bridge all the way to Kolding. 




We stayed in Kolding, at a hotel called Koldingfjord. Before arriving, I had only seen picture, and was already quite  impressed. Usually though, all hotel pictures online are better than reality, and because of that I didn’t have that high expectation from this place either. 

When we arrived, I couldn’t have been happier we chose this place to stay at. From outside, the place was soo gorgeous. At the end of a little road trough the woods, there was this huge, beautiful castle-like building surrounded with some pretty impressive cars and businessmen walking around. And the inside of the hotel was no worse either. The atmosphere inside was as its outside, old heritage yet still kept up to date with the little details. The best part, though was the view from our room; gorgeous! In the evening, there was an old boat parked at the end of the pear, sun setting behind the hills and the sea pearling from sunlight. It was magical. 



After showering and enjoying the massage bed by the pool, I was all ready to crawl under a  soft blanket and fall asleep, but we deiced to have dinner in the restaurant downstairs. 

Our waitress was the cutest danish guy, who though we would understand his danske as we spoke swedish to him. Not exactly. But he was so nice to offer us food of our desire, off the menu as there was not much to choose from, especially vegetarian food. He recommended us a white wine called Karate Girl, which to my surprise was actually good. After a nice dinner at the terrace (surrounded by tons of conference business men… ;-) we decided to make it a day and head back to sleep. For the first time, there was a good WiFi offered and I couldn’t resist.. Ended up facebooking until 12 pm until I just couldn't keep my eyes open. 


The breakfast was more than enough, containing for example some rye-beer-porrige with whipped cream for the brave ones. I just settled for the pancakes and tea ;-) 





The hotel was just as i hoped it would be; a princess castle, a bit of pampering before entering the student world(and housing) of Groningen. Would not be upset if that ought to be my wedding venue... ;-)
