Denmark, Aarhus


Molestine, Aarhus centre. I stayed in the red house for a while. Best described as extremely quaint! Bathroom in a cupboard under the stairs, with a hole cut in the stairs for a window. Yes really. Bouncy floors. No door much higher than five foot. Of course I banged my head. Stairs up to the bedroom were the same as a climbing frame on the wall of a school gym. The owner is an excentric English musician who wont let you go without first sharing a bottle of beer. Not a problem!

The Danes have as many rules as the Germans. It’s just that the Danes ignore theirs!
Cykler fjernes uden ansvar - Cycles removed without liability

This canal runs through the centre of Aarhus. There are many cafes along the side and it gets quite busy, but this was taken early one Sunday morning. The cafe owners put out blankets in the evenings and customers wrap themselves up in them while drinking coffee.

Aarhus does have a long thin beach, bit chilly in October! You can see the port in the background.

In case you're wondering, those things on the wall are just stuck on twigs.

This is my block. Mine is second from the top, above the red car.

My alarm clock!

Denmark, Aarhus


This is the road I live on, Stadion Alle. At the end on the road is the local church. I don’t need an alarm clock as the bells ring out at 7:00 every morning! At the other end of the road is the AGF football stadium. I can hear the roar of the crowd on match days

In September 2007, I came to Denmark to work for Danske Bank.
The city is called Aarhus on Jutland, the Danish mainland.
This is Aarhus Cathedral in the city centre.
