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.

... and the hotel was 15 minutes walk away from the town center. There were no amenities around the hotel. We need to find them in town. We unpacked our stuff and walked to town for a look see despite me having a slight fever. We went around the area of Jomfru Ane Gade. Aalborg isn't really a place where one would go to see Denmark. It's a unremarkable town. We had to stopped there just to rest for the night. We returned to the hotel an ...

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.
