I went to Copenhagen! Surprise!It was actually a last minute trip because my friend Linda, who I know from waaaay long ago, is studying there. I haven't seen her in 5 years because she's Scottish and lives in Scotland normally. It was fantastic to see her!
I arrived on May Day (May 1st) because we had a day off from school. In the States we do not really celebrate MayDay as crazily as the Europeans do - so it was really fun. We arrived to a HUGE 30,000 people park party! There were concert stages set up all over this park and people everywhere. It was a fantastic way to spend a beautiful day in Copenhagen.
We were lucky enough (my friend Tiffany went with me) to know some Danish guys that showed us around the city all day Saturday. We even took a Canal Tour!
Where the Queen lives
The new opera house - it is huge
Walking over to Christianshavn - an island in the middle of Copenhagen
The view of the palace + church fro on the other side of the river
Nyhavn

Christanshavn
It was fantastic not to completely stick out while walking around. I remember saying to Rasmus (one of the Danish guys) that he can come get us "just look for the three blondes standing on the side of the road" now...in any other country I have been to that would haven't worked! BUT I was in the majority this time - it was great not getting stared at!!
Tivoli is a mixture of new and old rides. There is a 100 year old wooden roller coaster! Sunday was our last day in Copenhagen and we decided to spend it at the amusement park
And yes - go on that ride!!
Tiffany and I
It was actually very beautiful there too - there were tons of flowers and ducks
yay!
Then we wandered around Stroget which is one of the longest shopping streets and the town hall
These are the lakes we had to pass on our way back to my friend Linda's apartment - she lived pretty close - but it was still a 15-20min. walk.
With SWANS!
I thought she was cute...
Copenhagen - great last big trip on my own. 3 more weeks in Cannes!
