Hotel Kong Federik Copenhagen

... and all the modern shops you can think of. I just happen to find a pedestrian street with tons of shops and even wondered upon a 3 on 3 basketball tournament. This city is just full of life and judging by the crowd, it has quite the diverse population. My time was short in Copenhagen, so it was back to the train station for my 4:19pm train to Stockholm. It seems like I have been traveling for a week and can’t wait to finally arrive in Stockholm!

Our last official visit on this trip is to Copenhagen. After this, we'll be starting workshops, and visiting Fiona's aunt and family in Germany.<br><br>Copenhagen was a lovely city with lots of different things to see and do. While we were there, the Out Games were being held, which made for some interesting background activity. It was great to walk around the city, and see many of the older buildings. We also spent several hours in the national museums ...

... saw many things. beautiful fountains and churches and sites.. things we would never ever see again. I'm sure. We made it to a street that had lots of bars and side walk cafes on it as well as a canal. It was lovely. We sat and had a drink before moving on. From that point we decided to try a water taxi tour of the city and it was very nice. Exploring the old part of the city by canal boat was very cool ...

... the Changing of the Guard! Which was fun :) They recreated rooms of random monarchs throughout history which was really cool. It was interesting to see the different styles that were displayed. Afterwards we went to the Marble Church across the street which is absolutely gorgeous! You have to be completely silent as a sign of respect to God and to others. We then went back to the National Musset before heading out to catch our flight to Berlin!

... Now what? They had told us there was a bank around the corner and that it was not far. So, we set back on the bike and head in the direction he told us. The first ATM that we find did not accept my card. But fortunately the one across the street did. So, at last, I got money, we went back and picked up our food, and then biked back to Melissa's place. There, we finally ate and then all talked for a while and listened to music, watched T.V. We each had a Cult ...

... 4 bags ( yes, I said 4 bags) and to the taxi stand. Whoosh and we were in a taxi and on our way to the airport. Zip Zip and we were checked in, not just on our flight to Newark on Continental, but on to Cleveland too! And surprisingly, there were others form the ship as well. It happened so fast, the next thing I knew we were on the plane and taking off, in coach no less! I wrote awhile, Michael watched TV. We ...

... I am glad Mats and Ina are going to tear it apart and make it their own, because it was just all over the place. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of the inside because we were not there to snoop...just to stop by for a brief time...but just imagine going to a garage sale or a flea market and just throwing everything together in a house and that is what it looked like inside. It's only saving grace was the statue of ...

... from back in SA. I spent the first day lazing around the house and sleeping late as I was very tired form that last 2 weeks of exitement. I went swimming with thorbjorn but soon understoud that not even with me wearing flippers would i be able to keep up. The next day i desided to go explore Copenhagen and bought a very handy CHP card that gave me free entance to all museams and transport. First I visited the Liouseiana modern art museam where I saw ...

... ride pass for $30. That's expensive considering it takes about 2 hours to ride every ride you could want in the park, sometimes twice. Still, the rides were surprisingly well designed despite them seeing a bit puny compared to Cedar Point standards. The most purely terrifying was the brand new swing ride. This isn't your typical family swing ride. It looks the same until it raises you 80 meters into the air ...

... to last time and said "it was the first museum which was not completely lost on me". High praise! It was a very different modern museum with some pretty cool and interesting stuff but it did have the major draw back of no food within 5km or more so we ended up buying lunch in the museum cafeteria where we spent the equivilant of 6 Aussie dollars on 1/2 a cheese and radish sandwich - NO ****!
