Road Trip - Aalborg Karneval

Saturday was a really long day with lot of experiences! With Daniel we started our day with a long walk to the rental where we had to wait around half hour to get our turn in the line. It seemed like I would exceed my monthly limit with the fee for rental and deposit, but luckily they accepted Daniel's card instead and we got a grey Opel Corsa Sport, I wasn't expect to have such extras like auto-lights and cruise control in a small car like that.

At 9 AM we were able to leave the rental station and pick up all the others near to Rema 1000 in the city center to head straight to Aalborg for the Karneval! We got there a bit later then 11 AM, and we were lucky enough to find a free parking lot near to the event and get into it. It was like a huge party on the streets, all the people with customs, trucks with music and dancers and the crowd was following them slowly and dancing. All the danes were well prepared taking racks, baskets or a luggage with full of booze, drinks, chips and some of them even brought ice. As the crowd left a street the cleaners come right after, and it was really necessary, because they left a huge amount of garbage behind... Well, what to expect from thousands of drunk people, right? and they were do it from the morning till the trucks stopped at the finish point round 2-3 PM and more, but they had to wait for the party to begin at Kindeparken. At that time we went back to the car to have our lunch and discuss what to do next, since it wasn't really what we expected and we'd need some drinks for the party and also pay the entrance fee, we decided to pass, and go to the northest city of Denmark, to Skagen and a little further to the sea.

We got there a little bit later than 5 PM, so we didn't have to pay just for 40 minutes of parking. The beach was pretty similar to the one where we were with the Velux trip, but we had luck with the weather this time, no rain at all! We walked to the final point where we could go and we enjoyed the sea and the sand with the nice weather. After a few hours we got a bit hungry, so we went in the city to buy some food and drinks then we went back to eat it and to enjoy the atmosphere and to might see the sunset, but the sun was covered by clouds, so it didn't make sense to wait for it, but we still spent some time there, having fun and enjoying ourselves.

Some time after 9 PM we decided to leave and on the way back we stopped at Aarhus, where we arrived after midnight, we had a break and also we had a small walk in the city, even though we couldn't see much, just a part from the night life. But well, for me driving so long, I needed a little break there, just to move my legs and get some fresh air to not fall asleep in the next and also last 100 kms back to Kolding. :D

Before we reached Kolding, the gas sign turned on when we were around 30+ kms from our final destination. We refilled the car with jut a breath more then 44 liters and we took everyone home before turning back the car with Daniel, I mean to park it at the rental and drop the key in the "post box", and of course we had to walk back home... so we reached our beds sometime around 3.30 AM.

Since my camera is broken I didn't take much pictures with my phone, but hopefully I will get some pictures from the others so I can update it later... ;)
