And it's the price of stamps! We paid 30 Danish Krones a piece to send postcards to the Netherlands (which is equivalent to 4 Euro)

Could be, it was also hard to find postcards in Kerteminde, now we know why

Well, there's your problem right there. Anywhere outside of central Copenhagen you'll have a hard time finding anything whatsoever! Did they HAVE a pizzeria or did you have to drive to Odense to get food?

The accountants have taken over all post offices, I think.
And their response to "we're not making enough money" is always the same regardless of the industry: "cut staff and put the price up".
I think they are pricing themselves out of the market - when was the last time most people sent a letter or similar (birthday, christmas, etc. cards excepted)? And what was the last post you recieved? For me, it's nearly always adverts, no actual post at all ... even most of our internet orders come via Amazon / Yodel / DPD / Hermes / other courier.

Without having looked it up, I believe it would be more expensive in Sweden where I live...

You just have to understand that the post (PostNord in this case, which operates in both Denmark and Sweden) prefers to have as little as possible to do with customers. Hence bad service and high prices.
Same goes for banks in both countries... Don't go there to do anything that has to do with money. In fact, don't go there at all, they don't like people disturbing their 8 hour coffee breaks...

Try replacing half of the cinnamon with cardamom.
(And don't say "But I don't bake them myself"! Try baking them yourself, and eat them still warm from the oven. Then you'll know how they are supposed to taste!)

Cardamom in the dough and cinnamon in the filling
Yes, I'm able to do them myself, and yes, warm from the oven is the best.

No, for once Sweden is less f***ed up.
22 Swedish crowns for a postcard to the Netherlands, which considering the exchange rate is close to half of the Danish price.

If you can't get half-way with a lady, perhaps you need to quarter first?
