Danish greetings,
This afternoon we visited a city you have probably never heard of. I never heard of it prior to booking this cruise. I am talking about the city of Aarhus, Denmark. I really have no idea why we stopped here. There is absolutely nothing here. I should have skipped the shore excursion and stayed on the ship but I didn't. The first place we visited was the town of Silkeborg, pictured below.
Next we journeyed to the highest peak in the country of Denmark. I was lucky I didn't get a nose bleed. They call it Sky Mountain and the peak is at a whopping 500 feet above sea level. I thought I might have trouble breathing at such a high altitude, but it wasn't too bad.
Next we journeyed to a small town to take a train ride. This is where this thrilling tour hit a snag. When we got there the train wasn't there. We waited around a while when someone showed up to tell us that the train was waiting for us on the other end. So we all hop back in the bus to meet the train on the other side. Then they get a phone call saying the train had left and was going to pick us up where we just left. So we go back and wait for it to arrive. Finally after about an hour of waiting we enjoyed our thrilling 20 minute train ride through some trees.
This thrilling tour lasted five hours. At 7:00 this evening we sailed away from beautiful Aarhus, Denmark. I'm sure you'll all be contacting your travel agents to book your trips here real soon.
The highlight of the day was winning $320 in the casino tonight. We are now sailing toward Germany where we will be tomorrow.
