Our Solvang accommodations could not have been better. We chose the Hadsten House Inn and Spa right on the main street of Solvang.

The third leg of the mid-air tour was to be done on a high wire — a single wire traversing 60-80 feet of open air. Oh, we had side wires to hold on to and we did for dear life. But it turned out to be something we just stepped out and did, although quite carefully.
