This is part of the very large play area that surrounds Mou School. The frost is real and its lunchtime!

Traveling Back To Aalborg
The countryside as we travel back from the town of Mou.
Note: The white things in the distance are Wind Turbines which are everywhere in the countryside, as the danish are very green energy people

Aalborg from the hill
Very Cold but even more breathtaking

Across the Fjord
I am very disapointed that this photo came out blury but its the only one of the Fjord with the island in it. I have if you look, you can see the island in the middle. Only way to get to it is by ferry. Only around 50 people live on the island including one of the girls in Kathrins Class

Across Aalborg, the Fjord and Beyond
You can see the Wind Turbines In the Background again.
Aalborg is a Relatively small city in comparison to Melborne it only has around 100,000 people and as of next year will be the 4th biggest city in Denmark
