Our first stop was in Tønder, a small town just across the border. It is a popular town for Germans to visit. It is also one of Paul's favorite places. We stopped for lunch at the Victoria, a popular local cafe.
After a brief visit to Mogeltonder, home of one of the Danish royal residences, we went to Rømø, on the North Sea. The beaches are easily 200 yards wide, and the sand is hard-packed so it is easy to drive cars onto the beach. Park with care, though - the tide rolls in quickly.

Where's your Batman costume, Paul? After walking the beach for a while, we stopped for ice cream, served in cones with lots of goof, a strawberry-flavored meringue-like substance - very tasty. We drove around, checking out the vacation cottages. Katrin's family comes to Romo every year, sometimes renting one of the cottages for a week or so.
On the way home, we stopped to eat in Leck. We ate at "zum Schaschlik" (website here: http://www.calli-schaschlik.de/ ), a combination butcher shop and restaurant. We had burgers smothered in a Heinz 57-like sauce, and French fries with mayonnaise. This was a favorite hangout of Katrin's parents in their younger days. We then returned to Klensby, having a nightcap with Paul, Katrin & her parents. The detials for Tuesday, and our departure for Hamburg were sorted out before Jim & I were returned to Hotel Hahn.
