Aarhus, Denmark
A mere two days after leaving Poland, we pulled into Denmark. I sometimes wish that we would pull into port less often, because when we're underway time goes faster.
Denmark is a little more expensive than Poland was. We have done our usual walking around the city, ate at a variety of restaurants, and took a lot of pictures. I've already uploaded a few pictures to my Flickr site for people to see. We found some free Wi-Fi yesterday, which is how I'm writing these blog posts.
Denmark is pretty green. There is a canal that runs through the center on the main street with all the restaurants. It makes a pretty good picture.
So far this is the fourth time that I've gone on liberty here in Denmark. The two times before this we only got a few hours in the evening. It was just enough time to walk around a little and catch some dinner before we had to go back to the ship.
Yesterday, we went to a restaurant that served kangaroo steak. It was a little unique, but tasted really good. The restaurant turned into a karaoke bar about the time that we finished, and it started to get a little too loud for eating.
We also went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3, which is also in English as Spiderman 3 was back in Poland. Pirates 3 is really good, and I would recommend seeing it.
I never realized how far north Denmark, Poland and Sweden are. It gets dark at about 11pm, and starts getting light again at 4am. It makes it seem like it's not nearly time to head back to the ship yet. In Poland the weather was almost summer-like, but in Denmark I was happy that I had a coat in my backpack during the later evening hours.
We have yet to find a place to eat this evening, but so far everything that we've eaten here has not been disappointing.

So tell me, did the Kangaroo taste like chicken? LOL Seriously, was it a red meat or more white like pork and chicken?
You are having excellent liberty ports! I was in the Pacific and wanted to do Europe, but got too short!
Because of your blog, I am traveling with you!!
