Carlsberg Brewery, Copenhagen

Our last day in Copenhagen was just as cold as our first. We went to the Carlsberg Brewery and learned all about how beer is made! Just what a Uni student dreams about.

One of the Carlsberg corporate buildings.

This tour would have been a lot more enjoyable had it been done inside a heated building.

This is in the Sculpture Garden.

Outside the Old Carlsberg Brewhouse.

Old Carlsberg Brewhouse.

See those two figures in that second left window?

There they are: Carlsberg and his wife statues.

This too is the Mr. and Mrs. mural.

This is where the magic happens.

That is Kelly posing next to street writing: This Way

So, the day before we were looking for danishes. Not the people, the pastries. Low and behold I found cupcakes. This was a good one. Denmark can do cupcakes.

After our tour, we went to the Jacobson Brewhouse and Bar where everyone but me got free beer.

Exploring the grounds.

I was too short for this photo op cut out, but I sure did try.

We also walked through the stables and said  hello to the horses.

After our tour, we head out to see The Little Mermaid statue. It was already frigid out and then we began to walk towards the ocean and it became almost unbearable. At one point I thought "This is the worst idea, ever."

There she is.

It was a drive-by photo shoot. We got in, we took pictures, we quickly walked away.

Back at the brewhouse.

That is a strawberry beanie on my head, in case you are wondering.

Copenhagen, Day 2 Hamlets Castle

Day two was just as, if not colder than day one! (Do you sense a pattern?) We took a train to Helsingor to see Kronborg Castle. More on that below. First, my friend Mitchell has a tradition when traveling. He eats at a McDonald's in whatever country he is visiting. So, when we spotted the golden arches on the first day, we knew just where to go for breakfast on the second day.

This picture is a bit deceiving. I'm not that big of a fan of Mickey D's yet here I am, hugging up on the wall like it's an old friend.

That's Mitch ordering in the far right.

This was from the train. I get really excited when I see the ocean. It makes me feel at home. I love the smell of it and sound of water dancing around. Don't let the sunshine fool you. F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G.

On our walk to the castle we came across this little park.

Art imitating art?

Outtake.

The castle is on the upper left corner. It wasn't the prettiest castle, but I'm used to the one's in England, so yeah.

It did have a mote. No crocodiles, but lots of ducks and birds.

Gangs all here! Mitch, Kelly, Beck, Susan.

That duck is walking on frozen water.

See the frozen water coming from those pipes?

Here is a closer look.

Courtyard of the castle.

We started our castle tour at the bottom/basement/dungeon area. It was dark and you could buy flashlights to get around, but what is the fun in that? We wandered in the dark and let our camera flashes guide the way.

This guy was creepy. He's not real and the only reason it looks like a normal picture is because my flash lit the area up. He's actually in the dark and it looks like there is a noose around his neck.

So this was in a dark corner of the castle and the other students swear they see a 'face'. Do you?

Sexy/fun picture pose FAIL.

Next week went in the chapel.

I'm in a fireplace. You should see the outtakes from these!

Art on the ceiling.

This was a silhouette motion picture.

I said, "Give me your best Vogue pose" and this is what they did. Amateurs.

This is only part of the painting but look at the communication between the horse and that dude. There is something in the look that they are giving each other.

The ballroom. That is Chris in the blue jacket. He was one of two fearless leaders.

And finally the royal bedroom. Where the magic happened.
