Hals and Egholm

Hi everyboy !

We are already at the middle of our stay in Aalborg and I keep visiting some beautiful places. After the extreme north of Denmark, I went to the East cost which is 30minutes from the city.

It's a wonderful place. The day we went, the sun was shining and there were no clouds in the sky. However, it was again and again freezing ! The wind was blowing quiet strongly and there was also snow on the beach. I was really happy to see waves breaking on the beach.

After this cold time, we went to the nearest village which is called 'Hals'. It was just 5min far away from where we were. We took some coffees in I think the only one pub/bar in the village and people there were amused to see some tourists (us) at this time of the year.

Here are some photos :








On friday, in the afternoon after school, I went with other guys from ESAIP to Egholm. It's an island in the middle of the fjord. We had to take a ferry for approximately 5minutes to reach the island.

We started to walk and maybe walk all around the island but we didn't expect that the island was so big. So we stoped and took a tea-time in front of the fjord and the sun. On the way back, we found a place where it was possible to make a fire. We grabbed a lot of wood and made a huge fire.

To conclude our day trip, we took the ferry back and could see a beautiful sunset just for us.








See you and stay tuned.


Aalborg's Zoo


Hi everybody !

Today, we want to talk about our visit in the Aalborg's zoo. This place is actually opened from 10:00 PM to 17:00 AM, so we went for the opening. We saw lots of animals but unfortunately, it was so cold and windy outside that most of animals were indoor. We paid 115 DKK thanks to our student card, without it, it's 150 DKK. Zoo offers some safari, guided visit, reservation for the whole zoo, birthday's party and mini car rent (if you don't want to walk during the visit). Others frenchs came with us to this cold but interesting visit.

All animals we saw are below, take a moment to look at pictures.
