    The National Museum is a museum tracing the cultural history of Denmark and is housed in an 17th century mansion. There are exhibits from pre-history, the Stone, Iron and Bronze ages and then the Vikings before it progresses to the Renaissance, Middle ages and modern history. There is a People of the World exhibit, classical and near Eastern artifacts, and a children's section. The museum is really large and we only got through part of it, eschewing the People of the Word and Classical bits.

    The museum is fully accessible with lifts and ramps and automatic doors between the various exhibition rooms. We did find that the museum parts we saw was a bit warm and stuffy. That probably had more to do with the climate control and all the doors closing off the circulation in each room.

    We went through the Prehistory sections through to the Renaissance and saw such things as a silver cauldron from 100 BC, Viking drinking horns, the bones of an Aurochs, oak coffins containing remains of clothes and bones.

It was lovely, with eggs and sausage, fresh fruit, yogurt and some cold meat and cheese, again presented like it was something out of a food magazine. We’ll definitely come back for breakfast. They also do omelets and "side dishes …

    Copenhagen is a wonderful city but I'm looking forward to getting back to Aarhus. After getting to my hostel, I went straight to do the compulsory canal and harbour tour. On the way I was treated to some hail, whilst the sun was still shining! Oh well. The sun continued to shine for the rest of the day for which I'm very grateful and has made for …
