We got up at some ungodly hour, showered, and headed straight into Kobenhavn city.
The reason we left so early, was because we wanted to see the changing of the guards.
It's basically one big song and dance. ;)
Afterwards, we had a stroll through Kastellet, one of the best preserved fortifications in Europe. It was pretty neat.
This is all pretty close to the Little Mermaid, so we decided we couldn't just leave her all alone. She's *REALLY* small! She told me she'd be moving to Beijing in April. As you can see below, we had a little tête à tête.
We then went back to the Frederikskirke, which is completely built from marble (on the outside), and was equally impressive inside. (albeit less in-your-face than most European churches)
Afterwards, we went for a short walk through Nyhavn, which looks better when NOT engorged in a snowstorm.
We also saw some guy diving in the ice water. I'm getting kind of scared from when we go "Viking Bathing".
And that concluded our cultural trip of the day! Back to school tomorrow!
