Farup

So it was decided that before the weather really turns dull we should have an outing at one of those amusement/Water parks .... Farup came as a unanimous choice(from the old timers.. as new to the place we had no idea what are the places in contention)

So on one sunny but windy Saturday morning woke up early (I usually wake at 1/2 pm on Saturdays n Sundays) and reached the Aalborg Bus terminal at 8:25 am ... just in time to buy ticket for Farup. Its a kind of package deal.. the ticket cost includes the travel from city to Farup,,..which is about 1 hr away from the city... ticket cost 185 DKK per head (INR 1387.5 approx)

Upon entering the bus we realise that the bus is almost full... lotsa people going to Farup this weekend it seems... En-route to Farup i managed to catch a station on FM in my Nokia6610's Radio which was playing some Indian classical instrumental.. it was the santoor...yes it definitely was... in a flash everyone's radio (on their mobiles) was tuned to it and everyone was enjoying it... never caught the name of the artist as they didn’t announce it once the piece got over ... after that came some obscure kinda music... some world music kinda prog it was .. and we all went back to our regular chatting... i kept checking time n again for anything Indian to be playing in the radio lekin nahi.

Anyways .. reached Farup n deposited all our stuff in one of those coin operated lockers that we have at all places in Denmark… and we went after the rides … firs tone being the roller coaster.. waited for a full half an hour to get the first seat… what’s the fun in a roller coaster ride if u aren’t sitting on the first seat… after that came the motor boat and the trampoline… some more rides in air land and water and we were already starting to feel hungry… guess the chocolates in the bus were just not enough…

So soon it was lunch time…. SURPRISE SURPRISE!!! They have the Samosa menu in one of the fast food restaurants..But it is being advertised as a Vietnamese speciality… so we decided against it and went to the good ol’ Mr Mc Donald … it was the water park post lunch…. After an initial shower when we came out we were caught by a strong wind … boy .. was it cold… The slides were great (rather dangerous for some of the people) but the place where everyone enjoyed most was the pool where they were creating waves …. Swati bhabhi lost one of her toe rings in the water and for that I had to swim underwater a lot and as a result my eyes were red for a long time..

Finally the day ended in a scare of sorts … we decided to take a mini train to go till the exit from where we would proceed to the bus which was about to leave in half an hour… the train took us on a tour of the entire park before stopping at the exit gate… with only 5 mins to spare and a lot of ground to cover we all rushed for it… managed to make it just in time…

Slept like a log till GOD-knows-what-time-it-is the other day .
