Work was over within 4 hours.. (Well, I was fully prepared, and I simply finished it off). After the work, Myself and Kim (Our clients IT Manager) went for lunch, by the side of a stream at Århus. We had Mexican Burritos., and it was really nice. I had finished my job there and could’ve returned to London. But When I inquired regarding the flight back, there wasnt any for the day to copenhagen, and hence I had to pull back. I decided to walk back to my hotel(SAS Radisson hotel), and on the way back, I had noticed that near the hotel, they had an ice skating ring, and people were skating. Soon I found that, the skates were available for rent also. There was soon an argument between the child in me and the adult in me..
I was planning to go for a walk around Århus city, and take snaps. It was surprise to find the the locally brewed beer was called “ceres”.. hmm.. interesting.. No wonder, my brains were churning again., only to find “Radhus-Arkaden” written on shopping centers.
Well, I will keep the thoughts private.. its really close to my heart. I really do miss someone here. I walked around taking some photos., before returning to hotel and gazing at the skating ring..
I was soon back for the pair of skates, at the counter with 25 Kroners(currency of Denmark).
Needless to say, the next one and half hours, I provided entertainment for the people there. I had never skated in my life and moreover I had to manage a 81 kg body with two skates, which go on slipping, whenever I try to get up. I didnt give up, providing the much needed entertainment. Finally, when I thought I had found the technique of skating, without falling, and since then I was falling backwards.. Hmm.. but though it was struggle all the way, I really enjoyed it and happy that I didnt break any other bones in my body. I had to quit only because, the place which rented the skates was closing, and I had no choice. People with their own skates were still going strong, but I had to leave. The temperature was around -4 degree, but during that one and half hours, I distinctively remember sweating a lot.
Well after skating, I was back at the hotel for a good long hot water shower and then rested for a while, before going out for a good walk again. I have been a lover of long walks for a long time.
The adventures for the day came to close, as I had to catch a flight to Copenhagen at 7.30 and had to leave hotel at around 6 am.
