Aarhus, Denmark: The airport

For the second biggest city in Denmark, the Aarhus airport is very small (and very far away from the city). There are only 2 gates and less than 10 flights a day, mostly going to Copenhagen. But it has this garden outside for passengers to enjoy once you've gotten through security. I thought this was very nice of them. I think airports need this kind of stuff.

Some last thought on this city. Everyone we talked to spoke English, which was amazing. We picked up a few words of Danish like thank you (Tag), salmon (laks)... yes, very important stuff. Danish is also very similar to German so we got around just fine. Things are more orderly than in England. There are bike paths and on intersections, the bike paths even separate into turning and not turning. I was very impressed. Cars stopped for us, which does not happen in England.

On Sunday, there was a big football match and huge gathering of people near the church. There was also lots of police with their vans eyeing these fans. At first we weren't sure what this was all about and thought it was some major operation. I thought the fans looked pretty calm. Maybe the police just didn't have anything better to do?

There were steep roofs everywhere. These roofs were very steep but the buildings themselves were usually fat enough to have a comfortable size room in the attic.

All in all, I really enjoyed this trip. I managed to try out Danish sandwich, pastry, this sausage/hot dog thing, go to 4 museums, a cafe, listen to a concert, sunbathe on the beach, walk around a university and botanical garden, all for less than 700 DKK = 70 GBP = $140, not including the flight. I really enjoyed learning a little about Danish history, culture, and hearing the language. It definitely feels like a mainland Europe city. I think I like mainland Europe a lot more than the UK. That channel makes a lot of difference!
