Day 1-3.

Day One/ Day Two/ Day Three. (Pictures later)

Sunday:
In the morning we went for a walk through Freidriksburg park, where we saw a lot of babies and dogs out for a Sunday stroll, some Hansel and Gretel cottages, ducks swimming on an icy lake and statues carved from the trunks of trees. We went home via. a nearby 7/11, where we stocked up on provisions, and had fish finger sandwiches for lunch. Later, we walked into the centre of Copenhagen, where we visited the Carlsberg Glyptotek. The gallery (which was initiated by the the founder of Carlsberg breweries) consisted of Roman and Greek sculptures, Egyptian mummies and Impressionist paintings, among other things and we stayed until closing time.

Monday:
We had a lazy morning about the flat and went into Copenhagen after lunch. It had snowed heavily overnight, so it was a cold walk into the city centre. We went to the tourist information centre, where we sheltered from the wintry weather and formulated a plan for the week. We bought Copenhagen cards, which are to be activated on Wednesday. Afterwards, we went to a few nearby shops (Poster World, where I bought some Barbar postcards, H&M, All Over the World, Royal Copenhagen and Topshop) and then on to a great vegetarian/ Mediterranean restaurant called Riz Raz. I particularly enjoyed the bread rolls and the herb potatoes. Plus, the chicken kebab was delicious, even if it did defy the point slightly!

Tuesday:
Yesterday, we went to Sweden (or Sverige) for the day. We took the train from Copenhagen to the University town of Lund, which involved crossing the Øresund bridge. At Lund we visited the cathedral, which had an intricate astronomical clock and a large crypt. Outside I saw a lamppost wearing a scarf! We then took the train back to Malmö, which is the third largest city in Sweden. We went to the museum at Malmöhus Castle, which was really interesting. It's so easy to forget that there are kingdoms and castles and age-old battles other than those we learn about at school. Afterwards we walked through the park into Malmö Centre. In H&M I discovered I had lost my glasses. We trekked back the way we had come, with the sun setting and the weather growing colder, but with no luck. I was so annoyed. We went to a supermarket, where we bought real Swedish meatballs and to McDonald's, so we could warm up (and add another branch to our international list!)
