We decided to stay in Svendborg after spending a weekend on Aero, rather than heading all the way back to Copenhagen on the train after the ferry ride. This had seemed like a very special place when I was doing my research online, and it certainly was. Our room was beautiful and we had an amazing dinner in the restaurant there. The strange thing was that we were the only guests in this large hotel. The receptionist told us that they are completely booked for weekend weddings and conferences. On this particular Sunday in May, it just happened that we were the only people staying. As a result, we were asked what time we wanted breakfast, and had a beautiful meal laid out just for us. We felt very pampered.
We arrived in the afternoon and wanted to do some exploring. They have several printed little cards with a variety of possible walks in the area around the hotel, and this was a nice way to pass the time.
