Woke up at 3.15 and it was already getting light outside. Rather cold out on the balcony, but the sunrise was starting to look promising so wandered up to deck 12 so I could get some photos. (I don’t think I’ll be getting any sunset shots) It was like a ghost ship, not a person around anywhere!

Finally, a couple of crew started folding up deck chairs, the first evidence I was not alone, lol.

Got some photos and then wandered around a bit more before heading back to my room. Hit the Windjammer at 6 for breakfast, first one there!

Did a bit of reading and game playing before leaving the ship just after 9. Had a few chats with tourist volunteers as I made my way through the harbour to the main road. Sent a message and soon after Dorrit & Niels appeared. Niels is recovering from open-heart surgery and is looking good, apparently much better than he was looking last year.

We had a walk through the new library near the harbour, listened to some singing being performed as part of an arts festival. It was a marathon singing session so they will be singing for a while.

Around the outside of the library are various play areas with very different equipment for children.

From there we walked into the city outskirts to the Aarhus Street Food building. It used to be a bus repair depot, but now it’s like our food halls. Lots of different types of food and a large communal eating area in the centre. Heidi joined us for lunch as well, we had Danish from MorMors Kitchen, potato with crispy bacon pieces and beetroot, tarteletter and then some apple pancakes! All very yummy.

Sat and chatted for ages and then wended our way back to the harbour as Niels was due his afternoon nap. It was lovely to catch up and Mum, they send their love to you.

Didn’t do much besides read and play word games when I got back to the ship. Dinner (I had some duck for you Mum) and now back in my room, with a towel aardvark on the bed, and another 3 hours of daylight, lol.
