Full day in Copenhagen

Well, our first full day in Copenhagen! We ventured out this morning on a mission to explore the coast and a few museums. We took a subway and a train to Elsinore where there is Kronborg castle. They started building it in the 15th century and construction was finished in 1500’s. It has been restored many times and it probably is most famous in our country because it is the place Shakespere based Hamlet. Though the story is fictional because the true prince of Denmark on which the character of Hamlet was based (Prince Amled) never lived at Kronborg. It was the first castle most of us had seen in our lives and the sheer size was absolutely incredible. Then we went to the Louisiana Museum of modern art. It currently has an installation of Cezanne and Giacometti. It was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see some of the paintings. There were many other works on display too by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, others. We all left there on sensory overload but headed back to town just in time for a downpour. Have I mentioned yet that it rains a lot? (Remember now,,,bring your pin number and bring your umbrella.) We stopped in City Center or Nyhaven area to look around and saw the Amber museum. We went inside and saw a lot of fine specimens that could start any Jurassic Park like existence. It rained some more, we huddled under an awning trying to figure out dinner plans. When asked, “Is everyone alright with that?” Travis responded,,,”UM…Yeah…Can you do something about the rain? That would be helpful.” We were soaked so we went to dinner and then came back to the hotel to rest. We have walked so much here we have come up with a new t.v. series…Biggest Loser European Vacation. Between walking to the trains/metros, sights, inside the sights, and back we would make Dr. Oz proud. Two quotes for the day…”No, not in this room.” “Who was that?” “She was looking for some Yen Vehgner.” (pause…head tilt…strange look) “OH! Oh no. Did that mean Jan?” One more, “What are you sinking about?” Until tomorrow…
