Finally, here is the final instalment of my photos from Denmark... and yes, I have done a reasonable job of stringing these out for a couple of weeks' worth of blog posts. The first set of these are from the Aarhus Old Town (Den Gamle By), which is a whole bunch of houses and other buildings from all around Denmark which have been reconstructed as another semi-open-air museum in Aarhus. I was surprised at how colourful the place was, actually - I hadn't imagined that all the old buildings would've been painted in so many different styles, but apparently it is pretty much authentic. They had all sorts of reconstructions and demonstrations of ye olde time-y lifestyles inside the buildings as well, and a few of the big houses has the original upper-class interiors restored and re-painted...
And finally, just to finish things off, I spent about 12 hours in Copenhagen (including an overnight stay - so realistically not very long at all) - but that happened to be during the time that the Olympic host city was being announced there, so they were having a big party in the main city square... including a performance from Aqua. Yes, they're still alive, and still playing Barbie Girl (as pictured below...). Unfortunately, it was a bit dark to take really good photos, and I had to leave for the airport at 5.30am... but I do plan to spend a bit longer there next time I pass through.
