our stay in Copenhagen

28 Feb 07

Phil woke up early this morning and looked out window and saw that it was nowing. So we opened our window and took some pics and video. By the time we went out again it had stopped but there was snow everywhere. It was nice but cold.Today we started off early  and caught a train to osteoport station. We went and saw the little mermaid. It is to do with the story. Then we walked to the chruch that princesses Mary got married. It was nice. We took some pics inside. We couldnt go to her house as we were told that it was guarded and you couldnt see it. We then went and walked around for a while. We were going to go on a canal cruise but it was closed for winter but no one told us. We then went and saw the changing of the guards at the danish royal family museum. That was really good to see. It went for a while. Phil and I sat on a bit of the wall near the museum waiting for the guard changing to beginning and one of the guards yelled something to us in danish. He was yelling at us to get off the wall. So we did. After the guard changing phil got a photo with one of the guards and was told off again for standing to close to him so Phil moved over a bit. We then went and walked down a shopping street. It was 2.4km long. We went to the guniness world records. that was good to see. The tallest man statue was outside. Got a pic with him. We then went back to hotel and just ordered Pizza for dinner and watched TV. Going to Sweden tomorrow. Love to you all xxx

We got up early and caught a train to Malmo in Sweden. It only takes half hr to get there by train. The trains go really fast. It was cold and raining there. We walked about 10km. We went and saw a 190m tall buliding where people live. It is in a area near the water. Kind of like the docklands in Melbourne. We then walked in to town and went in to a chruch that was 700 yrs old. That was nice. took some pics. We just walked around. We walked down a very long shopping strip. Not sure how long it was. We didnt realise but we ended up going in to what looked liked a dodgy part of town so we turned around and walked another way. Finally got back to the train station. Our feet and legs were sore for walking so much. It is nice there. Got on train and went back to hotel. Found out there might be a riot in the centre of the twon to do wiht some squatters staying at a house for the pass 6 yrs and know the owners want to sell it. So wont be going out.Did our washing and packed up all our things. The dryer didnt work very well. We had it going for nearly 2 hrs. had to pack semi wet clothes. We will hang them in Berlin. Got a tavel clothes line. Then  we juts watched TV and finally got to bed at about 11pm after packing. Have to gte up at 5am to catch train. Will write about berlin soon Take care all of you.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
