A few weeks ago, my friend Tine visited me in Aarhus, and during the past Easter weekend I had the pleasure of welcoming my parents. Since they've seen Aarhus before and I haven't been exploring the rest of Denmark much, this provided us with the perfect occasion for a three-day trip around Fyn, the large Danish island.
After having provided them with a fine dinner on Thursday (and myself being provided with some goodies from Belgium - yes, some Belgian beer and chocolate), on Friday we took off to Odense, Fyn's main city. The place is mostly known as the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen, the famous Danish poet. We therefore had to visit the H.C Andersen museum as well as take the Andersen-route through the city.
However, it turned out there was more to Odense than the 19th century writer of fairytales, and the photo museum was certainly worth the visit. The city itself was nice and quiet, with some great parks, and a nice Italian place to finish the day.
Despite the impressive building as well as its interior, it's really the castle's gardens that make the place so much worth the while. On top of that, there's a museum filled with old-timer cars as well as a quite impressive collection of old motorcycles.
Helped by a nice and sunny, quite undanish weather, we enjoyed the view and realised it took more than a few people to keep this place tidy. Therefore, we left our new home and continued on to the south of the island.
We arrived at our hotel just outside Svendborg and borrowed the hotel's bikes to explore the idyllic island Thurø. Quite the view, and quite the weather!
Sunday, we visited Valdemar Slot on the island Tåsinge. Again the interior was not bad at all, but it was mostly the view at the seaside making it so enjoyable. We enjoyed a late lunch and an ice cream in Faaborg, before driving back to Aarhus. After a walk at the seaside in Marselis, my parents' visited ended - as has now become tradition - at Pizza Italia.
Vi ses!
