Spændende og anderledes overnatning

Meget anderledes at overnatte i et tidligere fængsel, men det var rigtig godt. Man kunne færdes i stort set hele fængslet og få et indtryk af, hvordan det var at være indsat der inden fængslet lukkede. Der var pænt og rent, og gode muligheder for underholdning, både i kælderen med bl.a. bordtennis og en arkademaskine, og ovenpå i biblioteket med diverse brætspil. Super hjælpsomt og flinkt personale. Selve byen, som er en lille havneby, er rigtig hyggelig, og i gåafstand fra hotellet (ca 10 min.) Helt klart et sted (og by) vi kan anbefale at bruge et par dage på.
