Our first adventure with our new hosts involved seeing the Voergard Castle. Once again I was given further inspiration for my own designs (for those of you who don't yet know, Denmark has inspired me to live in a castle one day!) and we saw plenty of culture and history from across Europe within the walls.
After a fantastic velkommen party hosted by Finn & Caron we were sent home early to bed. We were quite grateful for the early night (although we hear that doug stayed up and had a scotch - or 4 - whilst discussing the 'differences in the education systems') Yeah right!!
Today we have been busy visiting the Vikings graves, and learning about the very oldest of Danish people. After a Viking meal including smoked wild boar, pickled herring, pork belly, and cured salmon with beetroot!!! Delicious...
Fortunately we were full of energy, as we spent the next 3 hours trekking around the forest with Birgitte as our guide. There was alot of mud, wildlife and nature in general. The highlight by far was to see Doug falling flat on his face in some slippery mud! (Picture a beached whale in the middle of a Forrest!!) We were treated to some hot drinks and chocolate before making it back to the car.
We're off to do a presentation at the Rotary club tonight - hopefully we can stay awake!!
