Copenhagen Canals


Today we started with the Changing of the Guard, then explored the waterfront near Copenhagen's Little Mermaid statue, then rented a boat for an afternoon canal tour.  Click here for photos. 

In other news, Jake got some great news today... he was successful in earning his IB diploma. 


Tivoli, Copenhagen


Our first full day in Copenhagen included a visit to the famous Tivoli Gardens. Founded in 1843 and located in Copenhagen's city center, Tivoli is among the world's oldest amusements parks. 

Click here for photos from Tivoli, Nyhavn Canal, Aiai Weiwei's exhibit focusing attention on the refugee crisis, the baroque church spiral we climbed for views of the city, and a stop we made at Egeskov Castle on our way to Copenhagen.

Northern Most Denmark


If there's a"furthest point _____"we will find it! Here we are at Denmark's northern-most tip. The North and Baltic Seas are literally colliding right behind us. 

Click here for additional photos from our drive north to see Skagen's dunes, Grenen's sand spit, and Hirtshal's tiny harbor, plus some shots from around Aarhus.
