We began our morning at a hotel just south of Hamburg. It was really quite a cool thing - at so many spots across the US we’ve seen hotels, gas stations and restaurants all sort of gathered together right off the exits …. this place had it all under one roof! Plus a robot that delivered our food from the kitchen!
We then began our trek towards Denmark. While we had planned to explore Germany a little further we could see in their eyes that both Emily & Uxue were very excited to show us their “home towns” and do some exploration that was further than public transportation could get them or a bit beyond their budgets!
Our first stop was Emily’s home city of Aarhus. We visited a museum - Den Gammel By - that she had been looking at for awhile. It featured exhibits from different parts of Aarhus’ history … including an area from the 1970’s - I won’t lie it was difficult to swallow the fact toys from my childhood were in a display behind plexiglass!
Afterwards we got a tour of Emily’s apartment and filled her (tiny) fridge and cupboards before dinner at Street Foot (imagine a large building filled with every street vendor you can dream up).
