Another sunny day in Denmark. I can’t believe I am whingeing about the weather being too hot in Scandinavia! I thought it was safe to come here as it was so far north! Of course it is still only 28 degrees! Today, we wandered in our own direction- Dad went off to do the Carlsberg tour whilst I went to have a look at Christiania, a hippy happening place here and to the other extreme, a palace.

Chrustiania is an old military base which was taken over by squatters who smoke cannabis and you can buy it there - I think it is illegal now. It is quite something to see. very hippy with lots of colourful houses, actually everything is painted. You are not allowed to take photos here - that’s the rule of the community.

After this little excursion, I went to visit the Rosenborg palace where the Danish Crown Jewels were held. It was quite different in that the rooms were paneled in dark wood but still very ornate. I took some photos but of course they don’t do the palace great justice. L
