Tulip Residences Copenhagen Centre

... in the morning. Yet this also allowed me to go back to the brewery for a tour. So I bought my ticket, started on my way. About 2 blocks into it I realized that I didn’t have my wallet anymore. I panicked and took off running with my two backpacks back to the station and to the ticket office. I was in line looking around and waiting to ask the guy if he saw it when a guy two people ahead of me asked if I was Nic. I said yes and he said ...

... interesting...

I ended up walking around by the canals again and enjoying the pristine weather, and also went to Tivoli, a Danish version of an amusement park. So much fun!! The rides were really incredible and I went on one that I will truly never forget. I have never felt that much G force, or centrivocal force, or whatever it was---INSANE!! Copenhagen is absolutely one of my favorite cities on earth, and everyone should visit!!!

... pair of socks though!

We relaxed for a bit before diner - the most expensive (yet best) meal we have ever had! It was on the canal and we had steaks that were fantastic - it was an authentic Danish restaurant and we even had people come sing and play guitar/accordion for us during our meal! :) It was very lovely!!!

Of course, we had ice cream after diner before heading to bed!!!

... in turn, we with six other tourists climbed up on the statue and smiled for the recording cameras. Across from the City Hall was the Tivoli Gardens. It is like an 18th century Disneyland. In fact Walt Disney made several trips here to the Gardens while he was in the designing phase of Disneyland. Mixed with the old were newer rides similar to the ones at Great America. But we did not have long to linger as we were several miles from the ship and our time in ...

... to get this massive drink, it was a strawberry dacari, and it was huge! The two of us drank that, took more pictures, and then we went to another bar. At this point we ended up getting a cult shaker, or at least something similar. It is a mini energy drink with alcohol. It is basically equivalent to a red bull and vodka from back home. We sat and had a few drinks, then we realized that they had Coors Light. Melissa was extremely happy. She bought it straight away ...

... talking. We had talked of going to town for lunch when Søren came back from his yearly checkup, but the weather was really too changeable. So after we dropped Winnie off we came back home for lunch. Marianne and I went to Lyngby for some shopping. I wanted to get some extra knives and forks for my set. Didn't have enough when we had Peter's birthday, also some of them are getting a bit tired. Not surprising as we got the first ...

... bike racks are everywhere, some are even covered like these at the University. Back on the train, no time to dilly dally as Michael put it. I wanted to wander around more, but apparently that was not in the game plan. (actually coffee was in my game plan and I wanted to look for a coffee shop near campus, SIGH, alas, it was not be just yet) Back to the Metro and a couple of stops later we were in a quaint canal area, and a 7/11 ...

... and turned 90 degres on the way up. then i walked through a great park, came across a wonderful windmill, and many families and people walking their dogs, ducks, etc. beautiful weather so i just really took it easy wandering through the beauty. then made my way to another park where some guys were playing...Bocce ball, older guys smoking and talking trash...so i sat down and watched them play for a while. they all tried to act like they didn't notice me ...

... fun we could have. We walked over to a government office to Sven could submit his working visa but it was closed. We then took a walk over to the Rosenborg Slot Castle. This is surrounded by a beautiful garden and a huge pig pen with even bigger pigs in it. Cute little oinkers! From there we wandered through this street and that, taking a left here and a right there. Copenhagn is simply a beautiful city to walk around in and pretend to get lost. After a quick trip over the bridge we ...

... and they are all fabulous - they range from the Paolo Russo Duo on piano and bandoneon, who play jazz-influenced and highly improvised music, to Orquesta Tipica Tangarte, an eight piece band from Malmo, across the straight in Sweden. After their set I speak to Paolo and Francesco Cali, who comes from Catania in Sicily - they moved to Copenhagen some years ago, married local girls and have settled here. They are delighted to speak to me in Italian and are really happy ...
