The next morning we got off to a nice, lazy start. Cassia and Julia slept in, so the rest of us had breakfast (muesli, 3 different kinds of milk products, fruit, eggs, fresh breads, and 2 different jams). Talking with Sune’s father before breakfast, it seems that they’re not always so fancy. This was mostly for us; they usually have cereal and fruit for breakfast.

While everyone else took some down time after breakfast, Sune took me next door to show me around the dairy farm his parents used to own. They retired last year, moving into the retirement house his grandfather built on an adjacent lot. The farm was sold to a neighboring farmer they’ve known for decades, so it was ok for us to just go poking around.

Cassia and Sune were married in the church opposite the farmhouse, but had their reception in the garden. Ian and I missed their wedding, so it was cool to see where they had all the festivities.

After we investigated all the changes to the farm over the past few years, Sune took me to see the waterwheel nearby.

By the time we got back, everyone was ready to head out to Flensborg, Germany. Julia got to stay with the grandparents for the afternoon, while we did some site-seeing. We stopped by a beach, the cathedral, had lunch at a cafe, and found a cute little rum shop.

After some window shopping, we decided it was time to head back. We stopped by a store right before the border to pick up some supplies — alcohol is much cheaper in Germany than in Denmark. We had a quick dinner with Sune’s parents before heading back to Copenhagen.
