It's All Danish to Me... Day One in Denmark

The night of July 1 I headed to Denmark. I was to embark on an 8 hour journey by bus before I would meet my little brother, Nathan, in Copenhagen. Since he is currently living in Germany, it was the perfect opportunity for us to meet up in a place he'd always had dreams of traveling to... the land of our Grandpa Nygard (my mom's dad).



It was an early Friday morning when we met up and neither of us had slept at all that night. However, we got to work finding the tourist information, found a free walking tour, and began making our way through the main sites in the old part of the city.



We first headed to the city center, which is the beautiful building posted above. Then we checked out the museum of Hans Christian Anderson.



Carrying our Copenhagen guide, we walked the streets filled with old landmarks and stories, taking lots of pictures and learning lots of neat things.



After that, we headed to the National Museum, The Prince's Palace and The Royal Chapel. We spent several hours touring them all and learning a lot about Danish and world history.



Finally, after attempting to figure out the Danish metro system, we somehow managed to take the metro to our hotel and find where we would be staying the night. We relaxed, watching the Brazil soccer game, going shopping at the nearby mall and hanging out.
