Having arrived in Copenhagen, we drive to our airBnB by the docks, seeing ships of all sizes - from Atlantic Cruise ships to tiny fishing boats. Day 2, we go out and rent some ebikes which are availavle to the public all around the city, and bike around, have lunch, and eventually end up at the Rosenborg Castle. True to our child instincts and priorities, while the parents explore the historical site, we stayed out and played tag games in on the well-manicured lawn. After a few hours of enjoyment for all, we head towards the escape room we'd scheduled, biking through alleys and backstreets. The next day, it's a slow morning, but we finally get out walking around to see the city, and find some super cool jellyfish by the pier. But we continue and come across this cute little church that we decide to explore, on a whim. So upon entry, we find that it's lined with lifesize statues, and they're statues of the original twelve apostles. Wait, we recognize those. Then in the front of the chapel is a very recognizable statue (especially to Mormons): The original Christus. It's a statue of Christ, and there are a few replicas put up in places, such as the SLC temple's visitor's centre, and there's one on the Paris temple's grounds. But in Copenhagen, the original is standing right in front of us, in a small regular-looking chapel that we stumbled upon. Anyway, after that cool moment, we traipsed over to the oldest amusement park in the world: Tivoli. It was, of course, not as expansive as Disney World, nor as technologically advanced as Duinrell, but it was quaint and enjoyable with enough rides and activities to make it worth the time and money. Sunday being the end of the trip, we attend church in Danish, visit the temple and fly out. Overall, I think this was one of the 'chiller' trips we've ever taken, with not much of an agenda except to explore and experience Copenhagen.
