October 22nd and 23rd - Denmark (east coast)

22 of October   

We woke up after a good night with the pitter patter of feet because Valdemar was walking into his mum and dads bed room. This was a very cute thing to wake up to. We had breakfast and William and Valdemar went to school and preschool. We then went with Anja to Fredensborg Castle where Princess Mary lives. It was amazing to see what a different place they live in and how they have such a big house. We then went on a walk through some lovely trees and because it is Autumn here the trees are full of colour. We then went back home for lunch. It was delicious to have some fresh bread and tomatoes for lunch. We then went to pick up William from school it was fun to see how different the schools are to ours. At his school they finish at one pm and then have an after school club where they could play on computers, do sewing and craft. They also had a spider web rope climb and a skate park. As soon as we saw all of this we want to move straight to Denmark for the schools and Anja’s family. We then went home where William and his dad had to get ready for Karate. We were allowed to go and watch them too. It was amazing to see their concentration and determination. It looked very difficult and hard. We then went to see Anja in her gospel choir. It was great to hear how amazing all of their voices were and how enthusiastic they all - were especially the conductor. They were also very kind and welcoming. It was then very late so when we got home I went straight to bed.

We woke up after a good night and Valdemar had a great time playing with me. He found it hard to say good bye to his mum and this reminded him of me when I was little. William stayed at home so he could be with us. We went to Rosenborg castle where the crown jewels are kept. I have never seen so much precious things in my life. The crown jewels especially looked amazing with all the diamonds, rubies and many more all creating a story or represent something. We then went and looked at a tower which king Christian the 4th had built. At the top there was a great view of the city and we could see the grand church where Anja and Peter got married. In the tower there was no steps because the king would have his horse and carriage carry him up to the top! Once we got back out the bottom we went for a walk to get to a canal tour. It was fun because we went under many bridges and saw many things from angles which you wouldn't see on land. Once we got off the boat we made our way to a place could the Tivoli. On the way we went into a shop full of medieval armour and weapons. This reminded us of the Mann's who we thought would be very jealous. We also went into a comic book store which reminded us of big bang theory. Then we ended up at the Tivoli! This is an amazing theme park with great rides. The rides were much better than any of the rides we have in Australia. I can’t explain how amazing and big the rides were. We stayed there till eight at night. We then caught a train back home and went straight to bed after a big day.
