Copenhagen- Saturday May 8

Today we all did individual activities.  Some of us went to see castles, many of us went to the lovely shops, all of us rested at least a litle bit, and we did a lot of walking.  Warren also watched a special parade.

Megan, Jenny, Krystal, and I went to the Prince's castle and watched the "changing of the guards" at noon.  Warren actually waited in line for 2 hours and went inside the Prince's castle that they're renovating.

Then we walked to the Marble Church and its huge dome and looked around inside- boy was it beautiful!

We also saw some really fancy gelati while we were walking on the pedestrian street

and some really cool fountains.

Megan and I also went to Rosenborg Castle and the castle gardens.  This castle houses the Royal Danish collections.

In the evening, while everyone else rested, Megan and I took the train into Copenhagen and went to Tivoli, their amusement park. 

We went at a good time because we were able to see the park both during the day and the gorgeous lights at night.  There were some really cool rides (but it was pay per ride), beautiful gardens (which are found just about everywhere in Denmark) ,shops, and tons of restaurants. 

We also saw a small statue of the Little Mermaid on the pond even though the real one is currently in ShangHi.
