Århus, Denmark

Den Gamle By
So Brandon and I are currently in Århus, which is on Jutland. We took the train here yesterday, got ourselves a room in what I call a "low budget hotel" (though it is really crappy and it still costs us about $90 a night). Anyway, we wandered around last night trying to find something to do, only to discover that everything closes here around 5:30pm (but it is still sunny at 11pm, so i dont get why everything closes so early). So we went to a movie for lack of anything else to do. We saw Fantastic Four 2, and it was good. We both enjoyed it.

Today, we went to Den Gamle By (The Old Town), and that was actually pretty cool. Then we used the public transit system to go to Legoland, which isn't in Århus. We got there just after 3pm and wandered about and admired the lego constructions, which were really amazing, but then they kick everybody out at 6pm (which we didn't know, our travel guide said 8pm), so we were bitter that we paid for a full day ($50 each) and only got less than 3 hours for it. Lame. But oh well.

Now we are back in Århus, and tomorrow we are going to go to Odense and check out Hans Christian Anderson's home town. We will spend the night there before heading back to Copenhagen.

Seems like things close up early in Denmark. Never would have thought that! Hope you are still clicking away with your camera. Have a great birthday in Denmark!
Love, Mom
