Wednesday 21st August – Aarhus

Exciting. In preparation for Jo’s impending move to start her PhD we thought we would come to Aarhus and find some bearings.

Of course there are always downsides, especially if Stansted and Ryanair are involved. Only an hour delay and not (yet) caught up in the strike.

And, importantly, for the first time in almost 5 years, Jo makes a guest reappearance on the blog – for 4 days only!

Best way to check a place is to find the old town and find a coffee shop. We thought it might be a bit expensive, but didn’t quite expect £5 for a (admittedly extremely good) cappuccino. Subsequently worked out we had probably chosen the most artisan of all the artisan coffee shops, but still …

Anyway, here’s a few shots of us and Aarhus getting to know each other.

So far, impressions are good. People are very friendly and, of course, speak excellent English. It is a bit expensive and the number of bikes is phenomenal!
