Biking with Bjarne

Sunday

I woke up around 9, did some Danish, then slept til 11.

I went down to eat breakfast and planned to stay in today, but because neither Chloe nor I had any plans for today, Bjarne offered to take us on a bike ride.

We went south instead of north (where the horses are). It was kind of chilly, definitely sweatshirt weather, but it was really nice biking. And I did pretty good even though I'm still sick.

It looks a lot like fall now!

There were canals in the little downtown area. It's on the other side of the tunnel next to the train station, so I'd never seen it before. 

There were stores and apartments and it was really cute and the canals make it seem like Venice or something. Very cool.

Once you get out of that strip, there is a lot of rural area. 
This is the end of the path and the end of the canals so there's a swamp/lake.

Lots of sheep.

And horses.

Bjarne was going to buy us ice cream at this cafe near the edge of the rural area, but it was closed.

Then we biked through a field. It was very difficult. My bike does not do well off-road. It's pretty slow and heavy on-road, too.

Bjarne took us to a little farm that's run by the municipality, so it's free because it's paid for by taxes. It's for everyone, but I think kids really like to go there and teachers take them for school and field trips.

They have a greenhouse and a community garden for people who want to garden but don't have space, etc.

Goats. I like the one that's just standing on the hay. He's hogging all the food.

Chicken coop!

There were millions of bunnies on this farm. Some were in cages and some were free roaming in rabbit holes and kids can pick them up and play with them and they are super soft and adorable.

Free-roaming chicken with some chicks. They came out of nowhere.

Geese. Bjarne said they can eat these kind.

Whoever lives there owns two Irish wolfhounds. They were friendly :)

The farmhouse was very cute.

But the farm cat was cuter. It was my first time petting a cat here.

Horses, of courses.

And it was the first time I saw a pig, even though there are 5 times as many pigs as people in Denmark.

Then Bjarne took us to Albertslund Stadion which is like their sports center. There was a pool, gyms, courts, fields, and overall it was a LOT of land.

This was the cafe inside. It was recently renovated because they used to sell just fries and burgers and stuff and they needed to be healthier so they made the seating more attractive and started selling fruit and nuts and juice and stuff.

We we going to where Linda's horses are, but first we stopped at the viking village replica.

There was a pig there, too!

Molly really wanted to play with the pig. Or try to eat it. I don't know what she wanted but she was very hyper.

Linda had already gone home so we didn't went home. There are tons of cute houses on the way from the woods to where we live.

Tonight, we had pizza for dinner. Bjarne made the dough/crust and we put sauce and cheese and toppings on. I had pepperoni, onions, red peppers, and tomatoes. It was super fun!

I think we're going to have pizza every other Sunday, now :)

We were biking for almost 3 hours, so I was a bit tired at the end. I ate almost a whole pizza, but we all made a whole pizza and most people ate a whole one. Chloe had one piece with potatoes on it and one piece with red peppers on it, but the rest was just sauce and cheese and she ate the whole thing pretty quickly, haha.
