The City of Copenhagen

 

We made it to Copenhagen! It is such a beautiful city. We were so surprised how much the food costs. Denmark has a 25% VAT on everything. It was so good to explore the city. We walked, drove, and rode bikes through the clean city streets. It was such a cool city. 






One of the items I wanted to see while we were there was the Original Christus statue by the artist Bertel Thorvaldson. This statue has been replicated and used as a symbol for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was a beautiful statue to see. Also all the 12 apostles around the room too. 





















Another stop was the Little Mermaid. Hans Christian Anderson, a Danish author, wrote some of the iconic stories we grew up on--Little Mermaid, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Princess and the Pea etc. This statue is on the harbor. She is so forlorn.  



















We biked along the canals and parks to see more of the city. We ate lunch at Nyhavn. It is a colorful harbor city full of history and charm. 



















































We found more bakeries to try! #winner
