Our second day in Copenhagen found us on our way
to the National Museum of Denmark

and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptoteket. If we hadn’t
run out of time and energy, we’d have visited the Royal Stables. These have
been turned into little museums and there is always a chance of seeing the
royal horses. Since we missed these, as well as a plethora of other sites,
we’ll have to go back! We only visited two museums this day, but they were good
ones.
We left Dallas at about 5:00 PM and arrived in
Copenhagen at about 1:00 PM the next day.

Since we’d spent 13+ hours traveling,
the first thing we did after getting settled in our hotel was to go exploring.
And we found that Copenhagen is the most confusing city to get around in. Dave
is usually really good about map-reading and finding what we're looking for,
but we were lost more than we were found. This is because the streets start and
stop, then begin again in unrelated places – or at least that was our reasoning
for our confusion. We did finally find the Tourist Information center and got
our Copenhagen
Card (museum passes), along with a better map; it was more detailed and
prettier (okay, maybe not actually a better map). Thank goodness there were
lots of folks around who spoke English and didn’t mind tourists asking for
directions, or at least to point out our current location on our map.
