The Kurhaus

So this was a pretty tough shot to get, I'm not that great a swimmer.

Wow, the "Oh moms" or "corny Lornie" are pretty loud. 

 There is a really really long pier that is challenging to walk along when it is really windy, as it was.


Here is the main salon of this grand old hotel. I think this hotel is one Europe's oldest and finest. It sits on the North Sea in a little coastal town where Grandma's family all came  from.

Below is the main dining salon and the hight of elegance. They have a slide show going on the wall at all times showing historical photos.


Beach side view of the hotel. We had a corner room that had a fabulous view overlooking the beach and sea. Pricey but worth it, except that I left my favorite light weight dressing gown behind the bathroom door!!

Ok I guess I need to define "dressing gown" A couple of people have assumed wrong. That's Canadian for "robe".
