Day 111 - April 21

Despite Eyjafjallajokull’s best efforts, I am proud to say there was finally a major airport chaos/disaster in which I was not involved – directly or indirectly. Copenhagen airport decided to open back up at 2 AM Wednesday morning which meant…Dana was able to safely arrive on her visit to Copenhagen!

The excitement of having another visitor was slightly diminished by the spitting rain that then turned to snow and hail (ew! Ick! Not okay!), which I was not prepared nor dressed for. However, I am not one to let weather get the best of me, so we trudged on…first to lunch, in which we discovered that one of the major restaurants on Strøget actually had decent CPH-lunch prices and was good food, too! This, I shall remember.

The sun was shining when we had finished, so I took advantage of it and led Dana on a walk through Nyhavn and around and took the back way to the Statens Museum for Kunst.

The fountain is on at Amalienborg!



It began spitting again right as we arrived, so perfect timing! I had not been yet to the art museum, so I’m rather proud of myself now for not having any major “repeats” in my visits. Of course there are things I love doing over again, including just walking around the city, but I also added something new to each visit. The museum was a great museum – I loved how it was set up.





There was some cool modern art:








Some other modern art:


This was an exhibit explicitly stated to be for children, ages 6-12, I think it was. Really?

I feel like Danish children must have messed up childhoods...

And some beautiful old art:





Also, note to the U.S. – if Denmark and the UK can do it, you can do it, too – FREE MUSEUMS. Seriously. Get on that.
