Musholm - our hotel
















Here is where we will be staying in Denmark. It has a beach and is on the sound between the big Island of Sealand, where Copenhagen is and the small Danish island of Fyn where my husband Alex is from. We will be able to see the bridge to Fyn. It was the longest bridge in the world until a longer one was built in Japan.
