Hotel Royal Århus

... w**e not close to enough time to really see it. I spent my first full day on a walking tour of the city, taking in ev**ything from Prussian history to the fall of the B**lin Wall. I ended the day with a visit to the East Side Gall**y - a stretch of the wall with murals promoting peace painted on it. Friday I took a tour to the Nazi concentration camp Sachsenhausen. This was as e**y as expected, but p**haps aft** seeing the effects of Apartheid in Soweto and the slave castle ...

... lively town, but my mind was otherwise occupied... Thomas took me around to some of the coolest pubs in town, and I got to sample a few of the local beers. They are pretty much all pilsners, but they taste a lot different from pilsners in the states---way better over here, just like the fanta!!<br> Also, learned how to play a few card games and a stick game that you play by knocking down wooden blocks. I ...

... technology is great. But, this room is so tiny! Getting used to it.<br><br>At 10:30 first Dorthe, then Anand came to the hotel and we headed out to Aarhus. It is the same size and has the same medieval spirit (in my estimation) as Tartu, Estonia. Lots of history. We decided to tour a few landmarks to start the day. <br><br> One of the banks in town has a free Viking Museum in the basement. It was really remarkable. The ...

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.

... or so from where I was, practically around the corner. My only problem was thereby solved. An hour or two later, after I had checked in, I was in the street again. I planned to go on tomorrow morning, so now I wanted to see at least to an extent what second biggest Danish city looked like. It is said to be the cultural capital of Denmark. Unfortunately, I had just over one week on disposal altogether, so even with best of intentions I couldn't see everything I was interested in in ...
