Copenhagen/Denmark 6/2/06
We took a train from the airport to downtown Copenhagen, which was about 15min or so. Then we took a taxi from the trainstation to our hotel.
It was overcast and cold.
Mom the white elevator door picture is for you! This is the original elevator in our Hotel, which is no longer in use. But you wanted doorways and windows so here is your first one! we thought is was pretty cool!
We had lunch at a small cafe next to the hotel.
It started to pour rain, but it was on and off for the rest of the afternoon.
We checked into our hotel and then headed for the "Walking the Street" where all the shopping is, we also attempted to find original Christis statue, Herb has been there many times, but he could not remember the name of the church it is in. And no it is not an LDS location.
After while, Herb went back to the hotel to rest, and we went and explored Copenhagen on our own. We found the Danish Royal Palace, the Hans Christen Andersen street, where they have a little mini theatre and still tell of the fairy tales.
It would have been nice to take a canal boat tour, but due to the bad weather they weren't running.Carl took all the pictures with his new camera. There is one you see in the slide show that is fuzzy but if you click on it, it should give you a clearer picturer.
In Copenhagen, the major way of transportation is the bicycle. As you can see in one of the pictures there is a double decker bike rack. You can rent them or own them. The suprising part was very few of them were locked up. Another favorite thing was the old fashioned baby carriages. It was nice to see the fathers walking the majority of them. That is common in both Copenhagen and Helsinki.
Finally we are home! It's been a great experience but we are glad to be home!
I will upload pictures a little later. Right now, we are trying to keep up with jet lag and get things done before Carl goes back to work tomorrow. Hope everyone is okay!!
