1-5 Ferry Trip To Denmark
The next place on our trip was Copenhagen. To get there we had to travel by train through Germany, take a ferry from Germany to Denmark and then train to Copenhagen. The neat part was the train we were on boarded the ferry, then you would go hang out on the boat for about 45 minutes, return to the train and continue to Copenhagen. The ferry in pic 5 was like the one we were on. This one was thus traveling from Denmark to Germany. We were crossing the Baltic Sea.
6. View from the Hostel.
This was one of the nicest and biggest hostels we stayed in. I think it was 13 floors and we were on the 12th. A few times I even sprinted up the stairway to get exercise. The place was very close to being like a hotel. I think Copenhagen was one of my favourite places to visit. One great part about Copenhagen was all the beautiful women and they really liked guys from North America. English was also a second language to them especially the younger people. I would use the term cozy little metropolis to describe the place. The roads were also very similar to that of Canada. They even had speed traps. They had one set up behind the hostel that I could see from my room. The first car I saw them get was a Corvette. They also had a classic car show in town, so their was a lot of American cars from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s driving around.

9. Sex Horoscope
A pic of my sex horoscope outside the Museum of Erotica.
10. Giggitty!
Me outside the Museum of Erotica.
11. & 12 Radhus Pladsen
I believe this is the City Hall Square.
13. ?
I’m not sure what this is anymore, but it’s a good example of how I started to use weird angles to take pics. I think it said something like King or Prince of Denmark so b/c of the whole Hamlet thing I took a picture of it. I also remember that it was close to where I bought a Smirnoff Ice. That’s another cool thing about some places over their, you can buy alcohol at convenience stores and drink them in public at anytime. I realize that after buying it, it wasn’t a twist off like here in Canada. I then tired to find some sharp edge so I could use the bar trick of chopping off the bottle cap. I kept trying to open it on so many things and eventually cut my knuckles up. More on this later.
14-19 Amalienborg
This is Amalia’s Castle. I believe this is where the royal family stays. It has changing of the guards just like at Buckingham Palace hence the guards but dressed in blue.
20. A Fountain
You know what makes this fountain important? Nothing.
21. & 22 The Baltic Sea?
No, its probably some river that I just don’t know the name of.
23. Enjoying My Drink in Public.
About 20 minutes after buying it I remembered I had my pocketknife on me and was finally able to get the cap off. I kept the cap as a reminder of the struggle. Here is an interesting fact: In North America the alcohol content in a Smirnoff is 7%. In Denmark it was 5% and in Germany is was 3%. I was really pissed off about that in Berlin. When I found that out I went straight to my Rum and Cokes. Copenhagen is also where we had some really cool roommates. One night when I returned to the hostel I met my new two female roommates (giggity) and stayed up most of the night talking to them. I had a lot in common with both of them. One of them also had the same problem opening their Smirnoff bottle and they also had tried the sharp edge chop. They finally found that it worked on a street sign.
24. Armoured Vehicle
This was outside the Frihedsmuseet (Museum of Danish Resistance, 1940-45). This was my favourite place to visit here. The horrors of the Nazi occupation of Denmark live on here. On display were relics of torture and concentration camps, the equipment used by the Danish resistance for forbidden wireless communications and the production of illegal propaganda films and a bunch of other neat stuff.
25-29 Museum of Danish Resistance
This place had a bunch of things I wanted to take pics of. Most museums we visited didn’t allow pics but I found out after going through everything that they allowed picture taking so I quickly ran back through the exhibit to snap a few pics, but I didn’t get everything I wanted. In 25 it is a set up of hidden communications in a persons house. In the background of 27 is a bit of a fence from a Concentration camp and in the foreground is a missile from a sub. In 29 is a navel mine.
30. Another Fountain
This one was near the Museum of Danish Resistance.
31- 33 The Little Mermaid.(Den Lille Havfrue)
The statue was erected in 1913 to commemorate Hans Christian Andersen’s creation. He is a big thing that came from Copenhagen. When we went there was a lot of Asian tourists. That day I also decided to pack light and that meant leaving my jacket and sweater at the hostel. The day started out fine then it got cold and started to rain a bit. Luckily it didn’t down pour but if it did I had at least my poncho in my bag.
34 & 35 A Windmill
The one and only windmill like this I saw. I expected to see one when I was in the Netherlands but only saw them on souvenirs
36. A Navel Ship
37. A statue outside a museum
38. Painting on the wall outside the museum
We didn’t have time to go to the museum so I don’t remember what museum it was.
39. Luc Blower Column (Lurbaeserbe)
A column erected in 1914 topped by two Vikings blowing an ancient trumpet called a lur.
40. More Bikes
This was another bike-dominated place. There was so many bikes here they were stacked two high. I noticed that some of the biked had long been abandoned and they had been stripped of parts.
41. The Tallest man
This statute was located just outside the Guinness World Records. They also had one similar inside Ripley’s Believe it or Not!. I’m 5’9.
42 & 43 The Electric Chair.
This was part of The Mystic Exploratorie. What you would do is hold the handles and they would start buzzing really fast and the object was to see how long you could hold on for. We both did it a couple of times and we were both able to hang on for the highest number. A weird thing I noticed during and after was my tattoo felt really weird. Ryan remembered watching something on Mythbusters about black ink used in tattoos that would explain this weirdness I was experiencing.
44. Mall Parking
I wanted to check out this mall and when we got there it was deserted. I felt like I was in Dawn of the Dead. We went during the late afternoon but it had already close for the day. Another thing about Copenhagen is that it was the only place with 7-11’s. I really wanted to get a slurp but it was just too damn cold to have one.
45. My Copenhagen Souvenir
I really wanted something that had Denmark written on it and the coolest thing was a mini flask. Now I can be the drunk Prince of Denmark, watch out Hamlet. Copenhagen is defiantly a place I would go again. Their was so many things we didn’t have time to get to such as Hamlets Castle and the amusement park.
