One might think I abandoned this blog but that is not true. Blogging in English is hard work for a Swede like me and in the last 14-15 months or so I just didn't find any inspiration... To prove that this is a viable blog I will now report from my visit to Copenhagen last week! I went there with a friend of mine and we took the train from Malmö. It was a hot and sunny day so we both made sure to bring bottles of water with us. After arriving to Køpenhavns Hovedbanegård (the Central Station that is) we first went to the Tourist Center to find some maps over the city. I happen to love maps and also hate to get lost - a good combination for a tourist. We decided to follow a D-I-Y tour that we found in one of the leaflets and started walking.
In front of Church of Our Lady I found this beautiful statue. I'm not sure what it shows but I like the people seem to come out of the stone and how the sun reflects on the figures.
In Rosenborg Castle Garden we took a short break in the shadows of a tree. Becasue of the great weather in the last couple of weeks the grass in the park was no longer green. The Castle itself is from the beginning of the 17th century and reallly looks like a castle from the fairytales.
We kept on walking and after a while we reached Nyboder, a collection of small yellow houses build 1631-41, originally to house the crews of the royal navy and, according to the leaflet, which they still do today. The houses were co cute! I took several photos and I can definately see myself living in one of them.
Then finally, we reached the goal of our long, long walk through the city: The Little Mermaid! She was smaller then I expected and it was actually difficult to take her photo without getting 300 other tourists on the same picture :-)
Then we started walking along the water back to the central part of of the city. After a refreshing beer at the City Hall Square we took the train back to Malmö. We had a great day and I will definately return to discover more of Copenhagen. Meanwhile I put some more pictures on my Flickr-account.
