ARHUS,DENMARK

Our day began with a "posh" breakfast in the Peninsular restaurant(our dinner was in the Oriental restaurant)(so THAT`S what"P+O"stands for)...Smoked haddock and kedgeree... and then we were off......

to DEN GAMLE BY...a fascinating insight into the way of life in Hans Christian Anderson`s time. 75 historic houses were literally transported to this site as they became available. We were able to go inside them and upstairs to see what life was like in the past. Den Gamle By is the only 3* museum outside Copenhagen.(you can see modern Arhus in the background of this first photo)



We spent the rest of the afternoon looking around the main town..Arhus is the 2nd largest city in Denmark.
