Downtown Dough, Cedarburg, WI, USA

Wow! This is some of the BEST shops I have ever seen, for bakery-things. There were walls of walls with baking-forms. Well... the pictures tells it all... I wished I lived here... I will make sure to have an extra suitcase next time I am visiting Cedarburg!











The owner of Downtown Dough, Patricia, told me they send all over the world!

Cedarburg, WI, USA

What a friendly and romantic city! When taking a walk, everybody said "hi", "good morning" or "good afternoon". The city center is one road, besides, it IS a city!

All the shops had painted, kind of old, signs like this.







And there were lots of small, "cosy" and strange shops. If you like "nick-knack" (is that a word, or did I make a new word?) this is the city for you.

In between the shops I found this little, romantic house!





This is from Amy's chocolate house (I think). YUMMI!

Washington House Inn, Cedarburg, WI, USA

This is not a hotel, so no stars here!

I had written an e-mail to tell the that I would have a late arrival. When I came, they already knew who I was. Very smooth and easy.

Well, this is not Chicago Intercontinental, but it was a very romantic and charming (although I am sure my son would have called it a home for old people....:-D). The sink was not in the bathroom, but outside. The toiletries were Neutrogena, and surprisingly, they were very good!








I got two of these small bottles with water, every day.



I did only eat breakfast once. Not because it wasn't good but because I didn't have time to eat the other days. This is the breakfast room. The breakfast was continental and it was included.




The hotel also had free wireless internet.

If I would stay here again? Well, if this hotel was in another city, with lots of 5* hotels, I think I would have chosen different. In Cedarburg I don't think there are many other options. Besides that, the hotel fits very well into this small, "cosy", romantic city, so yes, next time I am going to Cedarburg, I'll stay here again. I may choose a bigger room if going with my family, but for only me, this was more than enough.

Swine flu?

In the beginning I was very concerned to get this flu, but now... Well... There is nothing I can do to not get it, if it happens it happens. I am going home to Norway today and have to go to Chicago O'Hare airport. Chances there are somebody there with the flu is very high, this is one of the worlds most busy airport. I will do as I always do, WASH MY HANDS and I also have a small hand-sanitizer I can use if I can't wash myself.

I am also going to Budapest next Friday and to USA again in June. I WILL continue travelling!
