Ladies being cultural

Before the sensational duo went back to Copenhagen, they wanted to go see 'Den Gamle By', an outdoor museum in Aarhus with old houses giving an insight to life in the 1800s. I wasn't too keen on the idea, I'd rather sip coffee in the narrow streets downtown gossiping, but they talked me into it. It turned out to be really fun: Cobbled streets, old shops and glimpses of life in the 1800s, the 1920s and 1970s' Denmark. I actually wished we'd had more time exploring....

 The cold fall weather with a rainy sky made the coloured houses look so beautiful, especially with the water reflecting it all.

 In Aarhus, it's basically impossible finding a place where you can buy coffee and a roll on a Sunday morning, so we had breakfast at the museum. In a little cafeteria we had 'smørrebrød' - open faced sandwiches. Classic Denmark and really good...

 Old and new.

 A little street in the small, fake village, was dedicated to the year 1974. Travel agencies, stereo shops and posters with socialist statements.

 'Drink beer from Jutland in Jutland'...

 We found a little hall with curvy mirrors...

 1920s' soap shop.

I can definitely recommend a visit to Den Gamle By - but make sure you have a good amount of time there, because there are many small houses to look into, shops to visit (try the bakery with the pastry!) and houses to admire.
