Day 4 ~ Thursday July 4, 2019 Happy Independence Day ~ Arrival in Arhus Denmark on the 34 day Baltic Spitsbergen & Icelandic Fjords Explorer

We have arrived in Denmark 1st of the 2 cities in Denmark.  Aarhus has been named  "City of the Smile" and "World's Smallest Big City".
Small and scholarly, Aarhus has an easygoing, college-town atmosphere – about one in seven residents is a university student. But the range of top-notch cultural institutions rivals that of many larger cities. A 2017 European Capital of Culture, Denmark’s second-largest city is sprouting new architectural landmarks and repurposed cultural complexes like wildflowers. An ongoing renovation of the old harbor is producing new spaces for design, drinking and dining. And the vibrant, walkable city center brims with discoveries high and low, from astounding rooftop artwork to cozy holes-in-the-wall .  Wendy loves coffee so do I and Bob well he loves Hot chocolate so today we are walking around from coffee shops to coffee shops. The Latin quarters is where we headed.
Most visit La Cabra Coffee for the superb light roast. But an even better reason is the food. Inside this popular Latin Quarter cafe, a menu board lists a half-dozen straightforward options: grilled sandwiches, an excellent avocado toast and the apogee of bread and cheese. Choose the latter for unfussed-with perfection: thick hunks of house-made rye sourdough with crumbly slices of Arla Unika’s Gammel Knas, a 24-month aged cow’s-milk cheese (30 kroner). Those who value variety might instead prefer Aarhus Street Food, a cavernous food hall that opened in 2016 with over 30 stalls serving specialties ranging from pulled-duck burgers and bánh mì sandwiches to Ugandan rolled-egg wraps.  Do we have your attention now.
