54 Aarthus, Demark

Today is our last port for this cruise Aarthus in Denmark.  This port of call is only for a few hours as we arrived at 8 am and departed at 2pm.  Aarthus is Denmark’s second largest city and today is a public holiday so there was not much open today.  We decided to visit Den Gamel By, an old town like Skansen in Stockholm, where they have brought together old houses and businesses dating from the 17th century to the 20th century. These came from all around Denmark and were relocated in an open air museum.  Most of the houses were open and displayed what they were used for.  Occasionally you would see someone dressed in period costume walk past.  We spent a couple of hours just walking around taking in the sights, heading back to the ship and to the last sail away for this cruise.
