10th and 11th Feb - Excursions

Since other students in Denmark had holidays that week, we had less school and more travelling ;). On Tuesday we went to Aarhus (on the North of Jutland). We travelled by IC train (I enjoyed again :)!) We got some tasks in groups for the excursion - each group should plan and introduce us some part of the trip. I like that, because the excursion was more "ours" then. Some groups were finishing their teamwork during the travel...:)



First group led us from the train-station to the Old Town - the oldest open-air museum in the world. And they introduced us that we could find 75 houses brought from the whole Denmark to the Old Town - on from Haderslev too... Then he had 90 minutes to go on our own to see all the old beauty and experience the atmosphere of old way of life, crafts...

You can watch for more on the slideshow below... (also the Cathedral and Aros Museum, which the other groups introduced to us after...) Enjoy!;)


...OK, I am sorry, the programme for the video-making is always falling down. So the video is only on my computer, but I am not able to put it here now. I hope I can manage later. If not, for my family and friends it is in my comp for later...


On Wednesday we had a "buddy day", therefore we arranged a trip with Carsten. Nevertheless, we were quite tired after the previous-day trip to Aarhus, that´s why we decided to go to more calm place to relax a bit. We travelled by car to thee coast on the East. It was the first time in my life I had seen snow on the sandy beach. :) And also swans at the sea. (I thought they live only on fresh water (on ponds and lakes like in the Czech Republic). OK, that´s way a swan is the Danish national animal.

Then we went by car two or three more kilometres to the South - to Kalvo island. Kalvo is a tiny island, therefore we can walk aroud it in two ours. I enjoyed the walk very much because of the beautiful nature, calm atmosphere and sunny weather. We saw also a viking ship and we met only a few houses. In my opinion it must be pretty nice to live there. I found the landscape and nature rather similar to the Czech and I felt almost at home there...

Later in the afternoon we came home and Mate with Noemi prepared very delicious lunch for all of us. Afterwards, we played a card game "bohnanza" together. Since then we play the game very often with my flatmates, because we found it very enjoyable.
Anyway, the whole day was very enjoyable and we "charged our batteries" a little bit. "Tak, Carsten". ;)
