Day 4: Tivoli park ……………………………………….
Now we started planning for our weekend trips,
our plan was first cover Copenhagen in the initial weekends as we haven’t got
the monthly pay yet, so can’t go out. We decided to make trips outside Denmark
in June, first we thought of covering Copenhagen. We went to University, asked some people about the place we can
visit here in Copenhagen. Then we finally went to Copenhagen central station
for some information about the Euro-rail pass. Then we thought of finding a
restaurant around there, as soon as we came out of station, we saw Tivoli park,
reached there by chance, without any plans. We were looking for some food court
around Kobenhaven H station and we ended up
at Tivoli amusement park. To be
true, Tivoli is an complete pack of fun and enjoyment for all, the rides there
are cool and amazing, specially the Chinese style “The Demon” and the speed
train, the gravity pole and the flyer was also good one…..
All an all it was amazing back there, we bought an multiple ride ticket, so went twice or even thrice on some of the rides, we spent around 6 hours at Tivoli, actually we reached Tivoli at 3pm, and it closes at 10pm, so that was the limit.

Then I went back home around 10pm. Mr. L and
Mr. S went for dinner, they came back by 11pm, we were totally out of
energy as usual, slept like a child that day too.
Day 5: 8th May, Copenhagen [Tour
the city]………………………..
On our
first Friday we planned to roam around the Nårrebro station, Friday is a half
day in the university. Me and Mr. L left
from office together, Mr. S told us that he will meet us at Tandoori masala,
the restaurant we went on day 2 near Nårrebro station, he went to the mosk
there. But to no surprise to us, he told us he got lost. Went in the other
direction from mosk. We waited till 2:30pm, than Mr. L and me decided to leave,
without further waiting. We than first went to the kings garden, it is very
close to the station, took some pictures. Then we went to the national museum,
just saw it from outside, not interested in museums at all. Than from there we
went to a church near the queen’s palace. It was beautiful, after visiting it,
we went straight ahead to the queens palace. There was some shoot going on, don’t
know for what. The queen’s palace has a big square in between. The palace is
build around the square and a statue of some king in between the square. Straight from there, you can see the Opera
house. The palace is build near the canal. The view around the canal was amazing,
everything looks so perfect, with careful attention and a great deal of
planning to build things the way you see them. Truly Copenhagen is an perfect
example of well planned and clean city. Everything looked so perfect about it,
as we were in Bombay for three years, so when though of comparing them, simply
one thing came in mind, you can’t.The lifestyle, the social norms, culture and more over how the system is, simply makes no sense to compare them at all.
We continued our journey along the canal, in
between taking photos and looking around for spectacular view. After some time,
we were a bit exhausted by the long walk we had, so we looked in the city map
for the nearest metro station. But as we looked in to the map, we saw that we
are very close to the navy headquarters, and it looked nice in the map [design
of the headquarters]. So we thought that we are not gonna come this way any time soon, so let’s go there too. So we started walking again. Also we came
to know that, one of the famous structures in Copenhagen the “Little Mermaid” is
also situated there. On the way we also saw the statue of the Angel,
and finally we reached the place where the main attraction the “Little Mermaid”. There were many people there, it was some crowed there. It is a
great piece of artwork. Really loved the statue, specially the idea that, people
do believe that they might exist somewhere in this vast sea. We took pictures of
us standing next to the statue.
Finally, now came the time when we were like,
totally out of motion as on the most days we went traveling to be true. No intention of moving an inch at all, but home is home,
you need to return until unless you are not expelled from there. So we managed
to reach the nearest metro station. Boarded the train and like hell, didn’t get
a seat till 2 stops. We reached back home around 7pm, took a bath, and then the
usual story, chatted with Mr. A for a while, I ate my dinner with them and
after that Mr. L and me started uploading the pictures on the internet. Since
tomorrow is out first weekend in the city, we made a plan to visit Klampenborg,
a nearby town, very beautiful place; Mr. A had been there earlier so took
their advice on how to go there and when to leave from home. Finally went to
bed, with the ever growing infatuation with Copenhagen. I hope Klampenborg is
as good as it says on the web. Good night and sweet dreams every one.
To be continued......!!!
