On Saturday I went to Århus. It’s the second largest city in Denmark. We left quite early in the morning.
First we went shopping J. Then we went to see the Cathedral of Århus and we did some sightseeing. The Cathedral was also very pretty. It’s a protestants church like almost every church here. Very special is that every church has a ship hanging from the ceiling, with Danish flags. The meaning is a bit difficult to explain because it’s a bit unknown. Most people say it’s because the church was built in the shape of a ship but I also heard another explanation. If you’re a member of the Church, you will be on a ship. A ship that never goes down because God will protect you. I think this is quite a nice thought.
It was a warm day so it was really nice being outside and enjoying the sunshine.
Then we drove to “Den Gamle By”. This is the old town, the old Århuss. This was so beautiful. You could see all the old houses and you also could go inside.
Try the doors – they might be open
Look into the yards – behind the houses
Gaze up at the façades
Ask questions
Read the signs and Placards
Set your curiosity free
Quite simple : Enjoy !
This is what says at the backside of the small book: discovering Den Gamle By.
You could walk here for ages !
On Saturdays all the shops close at 14h in the smaller towns, like Haderslev but in the bigger towns they close at 16h. Except the giant mall. So that’s where we went after Den Gamle By. We went there for an ice-cream which tasted really good especially when it’s so hot outside.
I also saw a shop which is quite fun. It’s a shop and it sells “Hoptimists”. This is something typical Danish and it’s actually really cute. Here you have the website of the company.

We took another way home and we stopped at the beach for a few minutes. Really nice to see but it wasn’t a real beach like the ones we know from Oostende, Blankenberge, … .
We also wanted to have dinner there but for some reason we couldn’t, so we ended up in McDonalds, which I didn’t mind ;).
But my long day wasn’t over yet. In the evening I went out. We went with some other Erasmus students to a concert in a café. It was a really good band called Notch and they sung a lot of covers so we could easily sing-a-long. We had a lot of fun.



On Sunday, it was really early. I went to bed late but the small children here, don’t really care ;). Well, you get used to it.
It was again a beautiful day so we went to the beach of Aarøsund. I laid down on the sand and enjoyed the sunshine. Too bad it was a bit windy there, but still very nice. We went home around 16h and while the children played outside, Sonja lay on the grass, while listening to some music. Just relaxing ! This was really great. For dinner, we had a typical Danish dinner: potatoes with red cabbage, sweet potatoes and pork. It tasted good ! I really like the Danish food !!
Too bad the weekend is already over, but I had a great weekend and next week it’s Easter holiday so also a lot of fun guaranteed.
