September Touristing

I am well aware of how long it's been and I apologise. I got lazy and suddenly it was October, but the good news is that I have lots of photos.

On the second to last weekend of September I finally went out and did some touristing. On the Friday I spent three and a half hours in the National Museum (and that's only because my legs hurt and it closed). The big exhibition on at the moment is on the Vikings. The museum has collected artefacts from all over the viking world and laid them out perfectly. Instead of signs they also used tablet type computers allowing for more information (both general and specific) in both English and Danish. The rest of the photos are from the other permanent exhibitions which were also very interesting.

Saturday was an excursion for my Nordic Mythology course which I'll get back to in my next post. Sunday was a big day, at 11am a bunch of us met to go visit the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, which, despite its name has very little to do with beer. The Glyptotek is an art museum containing primarily sculptures. Unfortunately quite a few rooms were closed and as it was so close to lunchtime we explored only the first floor. Since we are living here for another few months we figured we could go back. For lunch we went to Paludans, a lovely cafe filled with old books, for lunch and then to the Nørreport food market for afternoon tea.

After 5pm on Sundays entry into tivoli is only $10 (just over half price) and as it was the last day of the summer season and since very few of us had been yet we had to go. I sucked it up and bought a year pass so I can go back as many times as I want and maybe even next time I'll go on some rides. The weather, unfortunately, was not great. By the time it got dark it was drizzling and most of us were already a bit damp so we didn't stay for the light show or the fireworks. However that didn't stop us from having an amazing time. The entire place is picture perfect so it was hard to narrow down the photos. But with half of the park left to explore and both the Halloween and Christmas season to come there will be plenty more in the near future.

I know this picture is blurry but I couldn't leave it out. The little boy was supposed to be leading the parade but he fell quite far behind so he had to be rushed to the front by one of the guards.
