... successful aft**noon, and a great chance to farewell the children. I also spent some extra time with the children, including an enlightening church exp**ience wh**e we w**e taught to dance while the children sang. But we w**e also unexpectedly required to 'preach' to the children about our own beliefs - a pretty scary thing for all of us! I also had a few chances to spend time with my host family, and had a little going-away gath**ing on my last night with them.<br><br>A ...

Silkeborg was a beautiful little city built around it's river. It had walking paths by the river, and in the summer had river cruises. Such a pretty place. One thing that caught our attention was the garages for boats, complete with roller doors and all.

Another viking museum called Moesgard. Fantastic. There was also a forest walk that was replanted in various sections with trees that grew in different time periods of Denmarks history. One section was planted with trees from one particular era, and another section with another era, etc. You'd call it a giant open-air flora museum. It was beautiful, even in winter. There were also things like an iron age house and a stone age barrow and a more recent fishermans house etc.

... anymore we went out to the Street, which is just a street where every single building on the street is a bar and we drank. I got back at 6am and we had started at 2pm the day before. I had to admit to Trine the next day that Danes certainly knew how to drink.

... my bags along the way i was like 'yeh whatever' - if they lost it for more than 24 hours then i got to go on a shopping spree for clothes for like $700 at the expense of my travel insurance company. it was great her being there as she was able to give an address and contact number so the airline could deliver it to me later when they found it. anyways...i had my first taste of driving on the wrong side of the road. its funny though i dont know whether ...

... a map. * Went to Aalborg to visit a wonderful friend from my London days, called Monica, and her to be hubby very shortly Kristoffer. We had the pleasure of staying in their home and even though we hadn't been travelling for very long at that stage it was marvellous kicking back in a home (sitting on the toilet and not wearing thongs in the shower is always a good thing) and with Monica's amazing cooking to boot we were very spoilt ... tak again Monica and Kristoffer!!! More news shortly!!!

... and was average. I prefer a buffet. That way I can hit the streets exploring as soon as I am done. Guess I am not really cut out for tours. Or perhaps the Filipino Americans sitting next to us proved to be a chored to talk to. This is so much different from the friendly Filipinos I know. By 10pm we returned to our hotel and the sky is still bright at 11pm. We needed our eye mask to sleep. There wasn't much time to do Aalborg properly.

Once a week I used to meet with the youth group at Hillerød Library to do book, film, pc-game and music reviews. DR-Radio had heard of us and invited us to Aalborg to do a couple of shows. It was a lot of fun, eventhough the trip home wasn't that nice, because we were stuck in Storebælts Tunnelen, because there was a hurrican over Demark that day, yay. But we got home eventually, about 4 hours late.
