So due to the rainy and cold day and a email warning from the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to avoid downtown due to a planned strike, we set off for the Louisiana Modern Art Museum. The grounds are beautiful, you can even see Sweden from the garden. We went to see one exhibit which was an exhibit of self portraits from a large number of famous artists. I had so many favourites but I really liked Picasso and Basquiat. They also had some neat photos which is usually not my thing.
We then risked it and took the train a little further to Helsingør where the Hamlet castle is located. I should probably mention at this point it's FREEZING and the wind is whipping and it's raining. On the way we came across a little mermaid but it was a man and it was crazy shiny... Very interesting. So we grabbed some coffees to warm our hands and set off along the path to the castle. It was deserted so we got some great photos but we realized only after getting all the way to the outside moat of the castle that it was closed. So we didn't see inside but we got some great pics from outside.
We grabbed the train back ordered some Thai food and watched a movie.
Yesterday we woke up and had breakfast out (so we could get the Noma photos off my phone using Wi-Fi!) we were then off to the Church of Our Saviour which is really neat as you can climb to the top of the spire and the last third you climb on the outside! It's very beautiful with its gold leaf.
Last time I was in Copenhagen I wanted to visit Tivoli but it was closed; but yesterday was the last day it was open! So we walked around checking out the bands and ride. In the end we only went on one ride, Demonen a very large very fast steel roller coaster. It was super fun! We had a fruit and chocolate kabob before we left.
We the stopped at Israels Plads Market for a very late lunch. We decided to split the sandwich voted the best sandwich on Copenhagen - a Duck Confit Sandwich. We both decided that it wasn't the best particularly because I found a few bones! We then had some Spanish tapas, in fact the same type of peppers, in honour of our trip to Spain.
We came home and hung out and had a late dinner of pizza and salad. We then headed off to a awesome Mike Anderson concert. Awesome jazz singer! Have no idea what he was saying between songs but the songs were awesome! I even got a cd... Not sure when the last time I bought a cd was!
Before bed we decided to try the chocolates we bought at Israels Plads Market. So we split each one to taste them. The crazy flavours included Tomato Basil, Tomato and Bacon, Goat cheese and thyme, pineapple and Roquefort cheese, and raspberry and fois gras. The best was the pineapple and Roquefort hands down, very tasty! The tomato ones tasted artificial, the goat cheese one was okay but thyme really should not be in chocolate and I'm pretty sure they forgot to put the flavouring in the fois gras and raspberry one because it didn't taste at all.
