It's a sunny day! I went to Lego Land. There was a bus station at the left hand of the Vejle station, and I arrived at the Lego Land after about 40 minutes of bus ride from the bus station. In the miniature town made of Lego (small small blocks), there was the Osaka Castle as a symbol of Japan. As I had thought that the symbol of Japan was Mt.Fuji, I was a little surprised. I heard that we can get memorial postmarks at the postoffice in Legoland, so I wrote a postcard hurriedly and deposited it.

As a train from Odense which I was going to get on delayed about 10 minutes, I was a little upset, worrying that the train might had already gone. I changed trains at Skanderborg, and as the next train was to leave there about 1 hour later, I bought an apple at kiosk and took a walk around a lake. Silkeborg Youth Hostel, which I was going to stay that night, was near tne station - about ten minutes'walk. I arrived there at 15:35, but check-in time was 16:00. My godness! I killed time reading pamphlets at lobby. Among the pamphlets, I found one about Silkeborg Museum. In the pamphlet, it was written that they had mummies there, so I dared to visit it. They had sharp crincles, and they hardly had no marks. They were so well-preservedand that they seemed to be ready to get up and walk around. After leaving the museum, I walked around Silkeborg Church and City Hall and Vor Frue Church and a lake. In the guidebook, it was written that a fountain in the lake was beatifully illuminated at night. But I must wait until late at night to get dark (because it was summer time then), so I gave up to see the illlumination. Then I went to the Himmelbjerget, the highest mountain in Denmark. T\Though it was the highest mountain, the altitude of the mountain is 167 meter! The configuration of Denmark is sometimes compared to cheesecakes, and I was convinced that it was because it was almost unrelieved. I had not looked up the time-table of the bus, so after running into a bus, I noticed that it was the last bus,though it was long before sunset. I should have checked the time-table of the return bus.Well. That was why bus driver had asked me to make sure that I was getting off the bus. I had to walk to the Ry station which was some kilometers away. I was so glad when I found the station at last. When I arrived at the station, as the train was going to leave one hour later, I bought some bread and beverage at a store. As a alien, I felt a little lonesome when I had a bread at the platform. I felt at ease when I could arrived at the Youth Hostel. Soon after taking a shower, which was furnished in each room, I went to bed.
