Copenhagen and Legoland with friends


We are sorry it took us so long to get back to the keyboard but we had a busy period lately.
A friend from Italy came to visit us and we showed her around Denmark: Copenhagen, Legoland and, of course, our hometown Odense. We had a blast and it was amazing to travel around with somebody that never visited Denmark before.


On Saturday we took a one-day trip to Copenhagen and we must say, the Nordic Gods have been really against us with the weather. We managed to walk from Cph Central station to Nyhavn without getting wet but, when we turned around the corner to sightsee the Royal residence of Amalienborg it started pouring. What to say, you cannot travel around Denmark without a taste of fast-changing Danish weather and it felt adventurous to find shelter under a tree. 
To fully experience Copenhagen, we had Fransk hot-dogs at Nyhavn and visited the National museum, where we restored ourselves with hot drinks (yes, Danish summer can hardly be called summer).

You can easily tour Copenhagen in one day, but if you wish to see more museums, castles or visit the famous amusement park Tivoli, you better plan a longer stay. That is what we agreed to do next time we will be in Copenhagen.

On Sunday, we decided to grow back in age and have tons of fun in Legoland. Since we are not what you could call roller-coaster daredevils, we jumped on quite attractions but we had much fun just by walking around and looking at Lego not-so-mini miniatures.

If you are planning a family and/or friends one day trip, Legoland is the perfect destination. We just suggest you to bring your own lunch bag and drinks, because, as you probably know, dining at amusement parks can be expensive. Here are some pictures of the great time we had and the things we saw and did.














A special thank to Martin a.k.a. Captain København for driving us around.
