5th OCTOBER - DAY 4

Lindholm Høje 

Back to the Vikings

On Saturday morning we met at Norresundby Gymnasium after a huge brunch offered by our host family. 

At around 13:00 p.m. we left the school and walked to the Lindholm Høje museum which is in the northern part of Aalborg and the most important Viking burial site in the area. This museum contains all the history of Denmark, from the Stone Age to the Viking Age. When we arrived, we were divided in small groups of four or five Italians and some Danish students who explained us something about the Viking Age.

After visiting the museum and the Viking burial site, we walked back to school all together. When we arrived there, we were offered some coffee and cakes, which we enjoyed a lot.

After being divided in small groups of Italian and Danish students we started to prepare a typical Danish dinner with typical dishes like Frikadeller and Tartelleter, we also prepared a potato salad and some desserts. When we finished we started to play the musical chair game, a party game in which we were competing for a chair while the music was playing. Some Danish students had organized it while we were preparing the dinner. We played for almost an hour laughing a lot, then we sat at the table and ate what we had cooked before. It was really tasty.

After dinner we started to clean the canteen all together while the music was still playing. It was nice and easy as each group had something to do. Some washed the dishes, some dried them, someone else cleaned the kitchen and the canteen. So we spent the time doing things and enjoying ourselves together, we had a lot of fun and the experience was nice. When the party was over we went back to our host families.
