It's Still All Danish to Me... Days Two and Three in Denmark

After a good night's rest, Nathan and I got up to hit some more sites. We took the meto back to the old part of town and started with the Royal Navy Museum, which we honestly did not find terribly exciting.



Next, we headed over to the old hippie part of town. There was a village created called "Christiania."



It was an area where people who no longer wished to live in the EU gathered and lived. The area was filled with free art, unique people and a lot of interesting living conditions. Not to mention the smells of drugs everywhere. In fact, we weren't even allowed to take pictures inside (even though I snapped this one shot posted below)! It was an interesting stop.



Throughout the day, Nathan and I were amazed by the number of bikes we saw. There were certainly more bikes on the roads than cars. With flat terrain and easy to access bike lanes on every street, Copenhagen is a great city to live in for people who love to bike.



To close up the day, Nathan and I headed to Tivoli Gardens, where we walked around, saw the copy of the Little Mermaid, and saw some of the free shows they hosted there before heading back to the hotel.



On Sunday morning, it was already time to head back in our own directions. I had to leave to Norway and Nathan for Germany. The weekend certainly flew! However, it was great to see Nathan again, hear a bit of Danish (even though I obviously understood nothing) and explore Copenhagen.
