Just had a whirlwind two weeks but so much fun! My best girl Tammy from back home came to visit me August 1-8. This was not only her first trip to Denmark but her first to Europe as well! We had an amazing time and it went by way too quickly. We spent 3 days in Copenhagen, a couple of nights with Mark's parents, had lunch in Roskilde with Darla, a picnic at Trelleborg, she got her first Fransk weiner, and then shopping and hanging out and just general fun was had!
For our days in Copenhagen, I decided we would buy something called the
CPHCard . We got one for 72 hours and it cost only 450 Dkk. It included all of our bus, train, metro needs (which is crazy expensive here) all around Copenhagen and North Sealand. It was so nice to be able to hop on the bus and metro to go somewhere when your feet were too tired to walk! It also covered admission to almost any and every tourist attraction you can imagine. We visited the zoo, Rosenborg Castle, Frederiksborg Castle, Rundetaarn/The Round Tower, Louisiana Art Museum, Arbejdermuseet/The Workers' Museum, Hans Christian Andersen's Museum (do not go here it sucked!), Tivoli, Bakken, Statens Museum for Kunst/The Danish National Gallery(lots of exhibits were closed so not very fun), and Christiania (this place deserves it's own post!). I would recommend this to anyone that needs to play tour guide or is visiting Copenhagen as a tourist. It is worth every Kroner!
We just returned home from a family trip to the west coast of Jutland with Mark's parents and his brother, SIL, and niece. Once I get some pictures from Elisabeth, I will make a post about that trip. Let's just say for now it was nice and relaxing and good to spend time with the fam.
