We had
decided to treat ourselves to the accommodation and
meal package at the exclusive and rather famous Schackenborg
hotel. It is highly recommended in the Lonely Planet,
the restaurant is renowned for gourmet food and the
rooms were decorated by Princess Alexandra.
We arrived rather grubby and tired after 100km against
a headwind. Despite its reputation the room we were
shown was disappointing and Margaret asked if they had
anything better. This was clearly not a question scruffy
cyclists were supposed to ask and the attitude changed
from snooty to frigid.
The relationship obviously wasn't going to work so
we cycled back to Tonder, found an apartment more suited
to our station and ate a modest meal at a restaurant
in the torvet. |
