We woke up to a rainy dreary day. We were prepared with rain gear for everyone but by the time we were done with breakfast the sky was clear. Ellie had a blast splashing in all the puddles as we wandered through the city. Our first activity of the day was a canal tour. We got a great history of the city and saw some impressive old and new buildings. It was a great way to get a feel for the city. We stopped for lunch at a bagel shop. Ellie had seen it the night before as she has really missed bagels. She ordered hers plain with cream cheese and we got sandwiches. Because we had a little time before our next activity we stopped in the Lego Store. Lego was originally designed in Denmark. She had a great time playing with the Lego and seeing the large Lego creations.
Our next stop was the Littlest Theater. Its target audience is small children. The theater was tiny holding about 70 people. The current production was about Picasso and how his paintings made it onto canvas from his imagination. The play was well scripted and helped bring art to life. It was all in Danish but it was an amazing experience.
We then walked to Rundetaarn, the round tower. It is Europe’s oldest functioning observatory. From the top you get a great view of the city. It was really windy so the girls and I didn’t stay out long. Unlike most towers instead of circular stairs, it has a wide 209m ramp to the top with just one flight of stairs. The ramp winds itself around 7.5 times. Ellie and other children there had a great time running up and down the ramp and hiding in the niches. It was then back to the Lego store to buy Ellie her first basic set of Lego’s.
