Denmark day 1

Now we are in Denmark, here is some info. The most commonly exported thing coming from Denmark is Beer. Denmarks national animal is the Mute Swan. The national plant of Denmark is the Marguerite Daisy. Here are some pictures of me eating traditional food.

  2. massive walking street (like a small version of Las Ramblas)
  3. canal tour
  4. twisting tower





Canal tour

Alongside the river lining up for the canal tour with our second cousin Ulla was nice in the sun - but the actual tour was the fun part.

Along the way we saw five landmarks on the bots of Hop On-Hop Off bus/boat sightseeing tours. They were...

  • The Little Mermaid - sitting on her rock in Langelinie. Maybe the most known attraction in all of Denmark.
  • Nyhavn - The 17th century waterfront. Today it is an entertainment district.
  • Rosenberg Castle - A renaissance castle situated in the King's Garden and a museum exhibiting the Royal Collection including the Crown Jewels.
  • Amalienborg Castle - The winter residence of the Danish royal family. Don't miss the changing of the guards every day at noon.
  • Tivoli - The old George Carstensen's amusement park.
  • Christianborg Castle - A castle since 1167 and today seat of the Danish Parliament.

 

 

That's all of the sights in order

 

 

Our boat route

 

 

 

 

 

Green mark = home

Sun = Tivoli

Lightning bolt = Christianborg palace

Tree = NYHAVN

Heart = Rosenborg castle

House = amalienborg royal palace

Star = the little mermaid

 

 

 

The best part part for me was the little mermaid because of the way her rocks were piled up. It was interesting to me the way way the could put them up in such an unbalanced way and still balence her.

 

 

 

 

For dinner we had the best hamburgers in the world at Halifax burgers.
