• Last Full Day in Denmark

    4 Mayıs, Danimarka ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    On our last full day in Denmark, we wanted to discover more than Copenhagen, so we drove to the north to visit the Kronborg Slot in Helsingør. We found a lovely little Cafe where we got our breakfast and I got a sugar rush from an amazingly sweet almond croissant. I would not need any more sugar today. We also got ourselves some beautiful new cups, as we are both absolute suckers for cups, especially handmade coffee mugs. After this, we paid a visit to the aquarium that was holding only species from the North Sea that you could find around Helsingør. I quickly found my new favourite marine life animal - a ray! Servus One in particular that was kind of dancing around the surface and we played together for a bit. It was really special. I couldn't take my eyes off of it, so that Gigi had the chance to buy me a little necklace with a manta on it, as she saw my new found love for these animals. And quite honestly, I am obsessed. It's actually a children's necklace that is changing colours depending on the temperature (or your mood as they say) but I love it and I'm wearing it all the time now. It also quite suits my profession to be honest.
    After finally deciding that I have to say goodbye to my new friend or else we wouldn't see anything today, we drove to the Technical Museum of Denmark where they had lots of old cars, old planes (even one that they recovered from the sea), and bikes. It was really cool, and I wanted to learn about all the old stuff, however, it was all in Danish so I couldn't understand a word. That was good though because otherwise, I would have spent hours there and we didn't have hours if we wanted to stay on schedule. So we then waved the old calls goodbye and made our way to the Louisiana Art Museum. We were wondering why it's called Louisiana, however, after seeing the main building that most definitely looked as if it's from the 19th century in the US state of Louisiana, our question was answered. They had a lot of weird art around but also quite impressive ones that couldn't quite grab the attention of Gigi, So we didn't spend a lot of time here. But it would have been a shame to actually pay the entrance fee, luckily it was all included in the Copenhagen Card. The next stop was yet another Art Museum - the Ordrupgard - now with more impressionistic artworks. It was nice but then again, it was enough art for us for today and we drove on to Lyngby, where we entered a nice little boat trip around the lakes. Honestly, it was so relaxing!
    But it wouldn't be a trip with me, if it would stay relaxing, now would it? Driving back to our hotel. We jumped right back to the Metro and went to Tivoli, the oldest Adventure park in Europe. It is settled right next to the main station, just in the middle of the city, which is crazy. The entrance fee was yet again included in the Copenhagen card, however, if we would have liked to go on a right, we would have to pay for it. As I thought that 5€ for 30 seconds of fun was rather expensive, Gigi and I decided to just enjoy the views from the ground. And really, the most impressive part of Tivoli were the flowers. They were just lovely. Having had enough for the day our last ride with the Metro led us to our favorite place in Copenhagen - Cavallino N.2. And of course, we ordered the exact same pizza as the other two times, and indulged one last time in the delicious taste of the best pizza ever.
