Day 8_From Troense to Falsled

Day 8_From Troense to Falsled

 

We saw: the sunrise at 3:30 am in Troense

We ate: a 6 course menu for dinner just to keep up with the diet.

We pedaled: 50 km.

Our average speed: 16 km/h

We slept: Falsled Kro Hotel

 

We decided to detour to Falsled thanks to the advice of  Siw, the owner of the first restaurant that we stopped at, as we left Copenhagen. She suggested that we stayed in Falsled Kro, a very nice place in Fünnen region.

 

She was right. This is the perfect place for two people riding their bikes with dirty clothes, sweaty underwear, who after taking a fantastic shower will wear some dirty clothing once again.

 

Falsled Kro, an is old typical Danish property with a beautiful courtyard and garden. It has only 11 rooms, each different from each other. The restaurant is ran by the Grand Chef Per Hallundbaeck (whoever he is), who will offer us tonight a 6 course dinner :

 

*Salad of white and wild asparagus, salted salmon and smoked eel with sorrel cream.

*Grey mullet (that is my friend's cat's name) with new potatoes, rye bread and summer truffle.

*Variation of rabbit and foie gras with peas and sprouts.

*Ro deer with sauce of musty cherry from Millinge (we passed that town today) and cauliflower.

*Selection of Danish and French cheeses from the Affineur Yves Bordier with garnish.

*Ovation of strawberries from Funnen (that is the region where we are), green as well as red with oat foam and müsli.

 

The wine will be our choice as we sit down (let's not talk about the price), in the case they actually let us inside. I guess, since we are paying to stay here, the least they can do is let us eat our 6 course menu in the kitchen.

 

So far we have enjoyed the shower with Henry Miller's soaps and creams, then we sat out in the courtyard to plan our next riding day, while having a beer and the best salmon sandwich you can imagine.

 

After this day, I am renaming this trip (and copyrighting it) "Posh Biking".
