Hej Danmark!!! (Hello Denmark)

We went on our first weekend adventure off to the continent last weekend, to Aarhus in Denmark. We had an awesome time!

The scandanavian people generally seem to have a really cool culture - very alternative and down to earth. In Aarhus, everyone rides bicycles instead of driving cars! Instead of a car park at the train station or shopping centre, there's bike parking! We could hire them for free and ride around. There are a few cars of course, but bikes are so much better. Everybody just parks them about the place and doesnt even lock them up. Very near the city were some really lovely woods to go wandering through along the coastline. They are just like something you would imagine an enchanted forest from a fairy tale to be.

The funny looking SHYKOO man was a french street performer, who was seriously the funniest chap we have ever seen. He was great.

There were some interesting museums with Danish and Viking history. The Grauballe Man was a man who died in a bog over 2000 years ago and his body is almost perfectly preserved, seen in the pics below.

We also became just a little fatter over the weekend, with the danish tasty foods, and of course the danish are very big on their beer, so we had to sample the local brews.

On another note, Go Aussies!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have just beaten japan (as of course EVERYBODY already knows) on our way to WORLD DOMINATION!!!!!
