22/22 Thousand Steps Worth of Culture

Our tummies wanted some attention again, so we found ourselves the most delicious cinnamon rolls and sat down next to the churros cart from yesterday. Then we went to Christiansborg Slot And descended into the ruins beneath to learn about the history of the castle. Apparently, it was built seven times in different time periods and it was burned to the ground twice. Unfortunately, they decided to rebuild it and made the worst looking castle out of them all. Now it looked rather dark and more like an old University than a castle. As we already had a lot of steps behind us, we decided to take the Metro to Nyhavn, as Gigi wanted to see it. It was a rather sobering street that reminded Gigi of the Amsterdam canals, however, in Amsterdam they have these kind of colourful streets and canals everywhere whereas in Copenhagen it's only this one street. But it is beautiful nevertheless. I wanted to do one more thing before heading back to our hotel which was quite visiting the Museum of the Guinness world records. I quite liked it as it was rather interactive and I not only found out that my screams are as loud as a flying plane (poor mom, now I understand her), but I also cracked the house record for the most drum beats in 60 seconds. The Guinness world record is 2,370 drum beats per minute so I still have a long way to go. But to be honest, these world records get weirder and weirder by the day as apparently now everything has to become a record whether it is the most one thumb push-ups or how many people in wheelchairs can pull a plane. And don't get me wrong. It is really impressive what people can actually do. But the question is: "Who the fuck asked for that world record?"
Anyway, Gigi and I decided it was time to go back and enjoy the most delicious pizza we've ever eaten for a second time. So delicious!Read more
