Copenhagen and Odense, Denmark


Yesterday we visited the Hamlet Castle in Helsinger, Denmark. The picture on the right is the outside of the castle. After the castle we toured the Museum of Danish Resistance. This museum had many artifacts from World War II. There was a lot of history in this museum some of which was very sad. We also walked through Tivoli which is the oldest amusement park in the world. There are many beautiful flowers and fun amusement rides in Tivoli.
Today we took a train to Odense, Denmark. We explored the city and found some lunch before meeting up with Olav again. Olav and one of his friends from the city council gave us a tour of Odense which is a really old city. We took a tour of the Hans Christian Anderson Museum and saw where it is said that he was born. His fairytales have been translated into 150 languages and there were many of the books in a library in the museum. There were also a few of his original manuscripts and many of his belongings on display.
