To Copenhagen

The next day I went to Copenhagen by bus and ferry. Denmark is a series of islands connected by ferries and bridges. It's a very ecologically conscientious country, growing windmills and barley. From my bus window:

In Copenhagen I first took a bus tour, saw the famous Mermaid (don't understand),

then walked all around,

went to the Carlsburg Art Museum (housing some beautiful paintings and sculptures),

and the Tivoli Gardens where I (along with Hans) was enchanted watching the amusements:

Everyone was enjoying the rides. Well, almost everyone:

I sat in the lovely flower gardens and had tea:

Then back to the Aarhus area by train and to Elin’s home for the night before going on to London for three lovely days. At this point I had traveled from the very middle of Denmark (Aarhus) to the very most northern point (Skagen) and then to the most southern end (Copenhagen) and back to the middle.
