Western Denmark Tour - Last Day

Last day. Jonathan and the students started the day early again, breakfast at 7:30, but because today, the students were going to visit a couple of sites still in Aarhus, it allowed us to let the kids sleep in a bit. Mio and Yuto slept until ten o'clock! They must have been really exhausted. I thought we would have some time to walk around the city one last time, but the bus was actually leaving in an hour or so, so we rushed to the Aarhus City Hall (designed by Arne Jacobsen), which was where the study group was visiting (one of the most important pieces of modernist architecture in Scandinavia according to the study tour handbook), and also where our bus was leaving from.  

Aarhus City Hall. 

We rode the bus for about an hour, and stopped for lunch, a traditional Danish open sandwich at a hotel. I don't have any pictures from the lunch, as I was busy eating, but they had a big selection of sandwich toppings (?) to chose from, and it was quite good.

Then we were on the bus for another two hours or so to get to our final stop, the Sorø Art museum. Pictured below is the museum's original building converted from a residence in 1943. It has a new addition on the other side of the museum, which is a nice modern building that was completed in 2011. The weather was gorgeous, and everybody was quite relaxed at this final stop, and we all enjoyed sitting in the courtyard of the museum. 

Mio and Yuto really enjoyed hanging out with the students throughout this trip, and some of the students took really good care of them among the other more important things they had to do such as studying the sites, taking notes, and also getting some rest on the bus rides. That helped us a lot, and we are very thankful for that. 

After another hour on the bus and we were finally back to Copenhagen! It was a busy three days of traveling, but I enjoyed myself tremendously - I got to see some great art, and visiting a city that otherwise I would probably never visit was really cool. And even though it wasn't always easy for the kids, overall I think they had a good time as well. So "Thanks DIS!" and "Thanks daddy" for taking us along!
