I love Denmark!

A canal in Copenhagen called Christianhaven were people dock their boatas, most live in the apartments in front of their boat.
Tivoli Gardens in the center of Copenhagen. It is an amusement part but is quite different from our Six Flags. It does have rides, but it is mainly musical based. Lots of ballets, symphony, singers, etc. Lots of good restuarants are located in here, it was about $15 US money to buy a ticket, well worth it! We went at night when it was lit up with tons of lights!
Little Mermaid statue, based on the fairy tale. The head has had to be replaced twice from people cutting it off. And the right arm was cut off once. Who would do such a crazy thing?
Rosenberg Castle - the crown jewels are here. We didn't go into the castle, but Ryan and I did have a picnic on the gardens on the day of our bike ride.
Ryan and I in front of the harbor!

I don't know if I like this country the best because we spent the most time there, or if it had more to offer than the others. We took a canal cruise through parts of the outlying city of Copenhagen the first day off the plane before we got on the boat. We had a fun morning enjoying the city. Copenhagen was so fun! Ryan and I rode bikes through the city for about 3 hours the last day. It is the coolest thing. The city has about 100 bikes for rent for tourist to ride. You put in your money it unlocks the bike, when you want to stop or you are finished, you lock it back and the money comes out. The bikes are placed all over the city, and you just lock it to any bike rack that has the city locks. The bike has a map on it to let you know where you are going! I also had the best hot chocolate I have ever had IN MY LIFE in Copenhagen (that could explain my love for the city)! The city had a walkway that was a mile long that was fun on shops and eating places, it was very neat to walk along and look at their culture. We took a tour of the city with an awesome guide the last day of our cruise. We found out a lot about their history. It was neat, their Queen is loved by the country because she is very active in the "Arts" of the country. She designs most of the costumes and background scenes for the theater productions in the city. The main food of the city were hot dogs; if you like dogs, this is the place to go!
