The Scandinavian Delight

Here is the continuation of the trip. There is some more of Copenhagen, which I will eventually get to posting. Here are the hilights, I suppose.

After returning to Ulm from Munich, I spent the night with my friend and her family again, before we both headed off to the train station at 6 AM the next morning. Three trains, one ferry and 12 hours later, we found ourselves in downtown Copenhagen with no clue on how to do anything.
Eventually we found the bus and made our way to the hostel, which was down an alley. Some memborable times were had and interesting characters met at the hostel.

The day we got there, around 6 PM, we headed out to downtown to find the Little Mermaid, whose home is in fact Copenhagen. One hour later, in the bitter and rainy cold and after a lot of cursing, we saw her:
Under the Sea

On the way, we walked through Nyhavn, the famous port.

The next morning we headed out to Christiania - the hippy neighbourhood. I don't have any photos because it is forbidden to take pictures there. I wouldn't mess with those hippies.

That evening we went to the Tivoli, the city year-round fair.
Tivoli - yay!

why is it forbidden? do they believe it steals your soul? are they hiding from the authorities? are they amish in disguise?

I think it was a little bit of it all. It was clearly the shady part of town.
