Denmark, or Copenhagen to be exact, wasn´t even on my list of places to visit. I was just conflicted with what to do. I wanted to go to Krakaw and see Auswitch, but it costs an extra 45 euros just to get inside the Polish border...yipes...wasn´t going to do that. Also I couldn´t pass up this opportunity of going to Copenhagen, when a girl from school messages me and says I can crash at her place...YES Freeness supreme.
The city of Copenhagen is a sight for sore eyes. Nestled along the water with lush greenery, this was a postcard city. My favorite picture of the entire trip was taken in Copenhagen...actually here I´ll show you.
The night I arrive is mostly full of me telling Kristina(the girl from Rocky) about my trip, showing her pictures and just having a good time. The next day however was her day off and getting to see the city. Unfortunately, Kristina doesn´t know all the best things to see, so it was mostly filled with mindless wandering. I did get to see Christiania and the whole city though.
Basically this part of the trip was just taking it easy. Seeing what I could see and doing what there was to do. Now I didn´t end up going to Trivoli, which I was slightly dissapointed about, but hey...them the breaks. Also I heard it was the most expensive place to visit in Copenhagen.
The sole museum I visited in Copenhagen was the Erotic museum. Now this isn´t some stingy, pervy museum for creeps. It´s actually widely recognized across Europe for its documentation of Famous peoples sex lives and the history of sex. It also had an entire section on the rise of Playboy, and the life of Marylin Monroe. I guess you could say...this museum was very..."visually" appealing.
After Copenhagen it was off to a town called Giessen. It´s about an hour away from Frankfurt. Here I was just visiting some girls I met along the trip...and also...free place to stay...ALRIGHT. Nothing to thrilling, just got to walk around a true German town, and a German market which was pretty cool.
Next stop was actually a recomendation from my Auntie Lynne. Geez who would have thought that someone with a PHD is smart...sheesh. The place is Schloss Neuschwanstein. It´s a castle that everyone should be able to recognize...want to know why? Well because it´s the same castle Disney based the Disneyland one after. It´s funny to think about it without the pictures...so have a look for yourself.
Also the best part was who used to live at this castle...his name was King Ludwig...now I didn´t do the big history lesson, but from what I gathered he was missing a few levels to the elevator. Aside from the castle the landscape was beautiful. Big lakes, fields and tons of greenery. I went for a calm stroll throughout the area, but ended up getting pored on...so made a quick way back to the train station. Definitely a worthwhile stop in the trip...glad my Aunt sugested it.
