I’ll admit it. I slept in a little bit later. I got into the hotel at around 11: 30 pm, and actually did not go to bed until 1: 30 am. I was actually riding yesterday’s blog really late.

I got up around 8 am. the hotel does have a breakfast but it’s the equivalent of $20, so I opted to go to the local supermarket which is just a block away. unfortunately they did not have single serve orange juice so I ended up getting water and a chocolate doughnut. I ate it on a bit of bread at the supermarket.

This supermarket is a Lidt, but it might as well have been an Aldi’s. The items are left on pallets for customers to unwrap. Sometimes they do not have nine brains and have generic names instead. It’s opened from 8 amTo 10 pm. So I’m sure I’ll utilise it.

I decided Rosenborg would be a good start since it appeared to be open on Mondays. Many museums are closed on Mondays in Denmark and for the rest of Europe.

Rosenborg is a residents of Christian IV, which was built around 400 years ago. Backpacks are not allowed inside and lockers are available for them. However it requires a Danish coin something I didn’t have because of been going cashless. The lady at the ticket counter was kind enough to lend me a Danish Krone coin so that I could unlock the locker.

When I am forced to keep my backpack in a locker always take out my cameras – that is my regular Nikon camera, my Flip camera, and my GoPro. Each of these provides for a good perspective on the attraction.

The rooms themselves had period furniture in them. It doesn’t always strike me a spectacular. Rather these types of Tours are mundane to me. Instead I prefer taking pictures of the buildings outdoor facade.

Underneath in the basement part is where the Showcase the barrels once filled with wine. Also weapons are showcased. in another room the Crown Jewels including the Queens and Kings crowns are shown. I’ve seen the Crown Jewels of Great Britain and this crown jewels had much less security. Still there was a person watching over to make sure no one had sticky fingers even though they’re underglass.

Afterwards I wandered around the morning Garden area which had some extraordinary real estate in them considering how crowded Copenhagen is.

Next I thought I should try to go to Amalienborg which is on that side of town. I wandered around and ran into Fredriks church which is amazing domed Cathedral. Just across the way is Amalienborg. It’s basically a large square with a statue in the middle and building surrounding it. I tried to find the entrance but it was not marked than I’m not even sure it was open today with it being a Monday.
Since I was in the area I decided to hike up to see The Little Mermaid statue. It’s definitely a tourist attraction there. Everyone was trying to get pictures and selfies of it. 14 tog for seem to be sitting there taking a zillion photos of the same position. I don’t know what he was trying to accomplish but it was annoying everyone else.

One Chinese man was totally oblivious the others were trying to get their picture made and came up behind someone just to get his own photo. other Chinese couples were climbing on the statue and again annoying everybody.

By sheer coincidence with in minutes I spotted two separate people who had Tennessee shirts on. when was an Irish man with a slight accent who’s girlfriend or wife or significant other was from Nashville and got him the shirt. The 2nd man happened to be from Munich but had visited Nashville last year and got no shirt. He also mention that he did the usual tourist trap things like going to the honky tonks, grand Ole Opry, and stayed at the Opryland Hotel. I know he has really work at another tourist trap, The Little Mermaid statue. I of course get sucked into this tourist trap as well.

Going back I stopped by this Anglican church which seemed to be very welcoming the visitors. They even had a sign that says welcome visitors. the lady in the 4-year area gave me a information sheet about the church.

I was getting hungry so I decided to try and find the Domino’s Pizza. While walking to the Pizza Place I spotted the Design Museum which happened to be closed today. I probably would have gone had the museum been open today but I probably would not have made a special trip out just to see the museum.

I arrived at the Domino’s pizza place and there were seats available to sit and eat inside the restaurant. I debated about what I should get but I ended up settling on a thin crust medium pepperoni pizza. Apart from the purple Ronnie this is exactly what I would get at home. I believe they even had a special going today where a medium pizza was 39 dkk.

After pizza I decided to head to Christianborg, which had several sites that the Copenhagen card would allow me to get in free. I found my way there thanks to the Domino’s Wi-Fi.

The Christianborg Palace is where the current king and queen of Denmark host their gatherings. I saw the throne room, an area where they would host banquets with some contemporary tapestries, and many other interesting areas showcasing the wealth of the royal family.

There was also a kitchen area which unfortunately only had plastic food and obviously is not used today.

The palace burned 2 times and they kept building the Newer Palace on top of the older palace. This proved to provide some interesting excavation underneath the current Palace.

Near the palace was the King’s stables which Showcase the King’s carriages and three of his horses.

After seeing Christianborg, I decided to book a river cruise which is free with the Copenhagen card. the next cruise was in 40 minutes. I decided to get a chocolate ice cream dessert and a soft drink. I said back and enjoyed myself only briefly. I stopped by some souvenirs stands intubated about what I wanted to get. I saw a Copenhagen metro shirt which I was going to ask the cashier what size I should get. However the cashier seem to be swamped checking out people. he was getting 10 minutes away from my cruise down so I decided to head back.

By the time I got back the boat was already filled with some people but I managed to get a window seat. our cruise captain spoke Spanish, English and Danish. The cruise was much like the cruise in Gothenburg. we started out in the city canals in in the Deb out into the wide open Waters of the ocean. There were some parts of the cruise which the Host went silent on so as not to disturb the residents near the canals.

throughout the Taurus other people had rendered boats and were enjoying themselves.

have the cruise I wandered the streets again in managed to come up to the round Tower. The round tower was used as an astronomy lookout. Northern get to the top you have to walk up the tunnel around the tower 7 and 1/2 times. Avatar Sands Ward of pickpocketer but I did not experience this as the area seem to be less crowded than what it would have been in the summertime.

I took a few videos and photos. how to position my video camera above the fence line as it had been fenched in for safety.

Next was supper. A debate about whether or not I would not I sit down meal with a waiter or waitress. The other option was to get a fast food meal. In the end I ended up going to KFC.

At KFC as there is with almost every other fast food restaurant, there is always someone in front of me who doesn’t know what he wants and ask a million questions about the food. this particular customer was asking about the bucket of chicken whether or not it contains legs and thighs. While all this was going on I was left frustrated as to why this man needed to know all this information. I mean it’s chicken. Just eat it.

the line was getting backed but I finally place my order. I have forgotten to order ketchup and made a special order for 1 Denmark kroner. it was the equivalent of 10 sets in probably cost more than that to process my credit card order. I felt like I was sticking it to the Man by paying with credit card. it’s a shame European fast food places nickel and dime you to death even charging you for ketchup.

Afterwards I decided to go to Tivoli Gardens which is a amusement park in the centre of Copenhagen. Once inside I found the amusement park to be disappointing period there weren’t any new extraordinary rides. Rather most of these rides could be found at the Wilson County Fair. I wanted around for about 30 minutes and get bored.

Now I’m back in my hotel room cleaning for tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.
