Hotel Guldsemeden Aarhus Århus

... in h** bag 'as is' - 'just a gift, you know'. The same security offic** poked at the edge of my bag, laughed at my box of instant fufu, and then let me go without actually checking my bag much at all. I then moved to the departure gate, wh**e only about 8 people w**e waiting to leave - I nev** did figure out wh**e ev**yone else went in those int**vening 3 hours! And then the wait began... Despite checking in ridiculously early, our plane still took off half an hour late!<br ...

What's not to love about Århus? This is a university town in Central Jutland, Denmark, and is the second most populated in the country. I stayed on campus in the nicest dorm I have ever seen. What two people would share in the states, one person had all to themsleves, complete with balcony overlooking a park with a lake. The university are is very green, with a park in the center, ivy covering all the walls ...

... rainforrest in three big bubles.<br><br>You can see more about Randers Regnskov here<br><br>It was a bit odd walking around in subtropic temperatures in Denmark, with snakes and monkeys around.<br><br>And yay...I got to pat a snake:-D<br><br>Best,<br><br>Eva Maria

This being Denmark and all, you can't really trek the Himmalayas, dive the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef or lounge on the beach for hours (though some do it anyways despite the chill)<br><br>So I decided that as I were in Grenaa I might as well go and see the Kattegat Centret - a ...

... comfortable &#8230; <br><br>I check into my hostel Arhus City Sleep In. The hostel is on a seedy street but one block from some great areas. Turns out that my dorm has 2 other guys, both from Boston. I have seen virtually no Americans on the trip and to be rooming with 2 is unusual. I go out for a beer at an Irish Bar. It seems that every town has several. It is a Sunday so not much going on.

... m OK. <br><br>We then went out to eat to the place where Bev, Dorthe and I have been, called the "Italia." They have a very nice buffet for a "reasonable" price. It's Scandinavia and your dollars fly away very quickly. We had a very wonderful evening getting acquainted with Anand. Anand has been corresponding for about a year with us. He subscribed to the Good News magazine on the Internet and loves it. He has ...

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.

... to my hotel. The Århus map in my "Lonely Planet" travel guide book was as good as useless, so for starters I really needed someone. Only until I got my bearings right. I put my things on a plastic seat of the nearest bus stop and looked around. The first person that finally popped up was a Filipina. But when I approached her, she started running away from me. I am not entirely sure one could take is as a compliment to my appearance. Whoever said I was handsome?! However, in this ...
