Well, we found that the sun comes up some time before three in the morning here. We were all up by 5:45 this morning, I was of course up last. We grabbed a European breakfast buffet, which means meat, cheese, cereal, and bread. We set of in the direction of the Church of our Savior which has an exterior staircase on it's tower and is completely gorgeous. After a morning stroll through the park, we got to the church and it was closed. We decided to go to the National Museum.On the way to the stop, we found this amazing bakery that had the biggest cupcakes I have ever seen.
The National Museum was amazing. It was in an old palace. There were parts of it that were preserved as a palace. The rest was completely filled with everything imaginable. There was an awesome early Danish history exhibit that had an unfortunate number of bog bodies, essentially Scandinavia mummies. We hung out in the museum for a couple hours and grabbed something cold to drink.
Then we went to the Christianborg Palace. We saw the reception rooms and the royal stable. It was incredible to walk through the halls that the Queen of Denmark has walked through. It was so cool!
We then took a canal tour on a week old boat. It was awesome, the sun was shining, there was a light breeze coming off the water, and the tour guide knew her stuff. Not to mention we got a break from standing. Uncle Chuck said he was starting to get the permanent vacation smile on his face and I am too!
After the canal tour, we headed for the nearest square and grabbed something cold to drink. The adults got beers and I have a coke. We're taking in some of the Jazz festival as we sip. They're playing "You are my Sunshine" funnily enough.
Bog Bodies are awesome Julia! They provide insight to the time period of their death. I think it is fascinating how well they are preserved.
ReplyDeleteThe bog bodies were cool but still creepy.
ReplyDeleteYes, the fact that they still have most of their hair and fingernails is kind of creepy. But still really neat!
