My grandma has come and today we went to the zoo. Copenhagen zoo is very big, and it has loads of different animals. I was there for 2,5 hours and I saw: elephants, tigers, bears, monkeys and many more animals. I like the tropical zoo most because it is warm and interesting - you can see crocodiles, butterflies, snakes, monkeys, frogs. My grandma likes the tigers most. There are 2 playgrounds and a petting zoo where you can touch little goats. You can get ice creams, popcorn, candy floss and healthy foods.
I've been to the zoo many times and I would recommend it for everybody I really like it. Today I went to the zoo on bus number 6a from down town Norreport.
Today is Sunday and I went elephant hunting again, continuing from my previous hunt http://kidincopenhagen.blogspot.com/2011/06/elephants-in-copenhagen.html. Today I saw 19 new elephants, which I never saw before, so now I have 68. I have a map of where all the elephants are, so it's easier to find them. A sad news I found out today is that some elephant have been taken away because people destroyed them. It is such a shame, because now I will never be able to see them. Only today I counted 5 of those, which were removed (Midnight Rainbow, Spina, Paradise Lost, Bring it on Copenhagen!, Green Heart). It makes me sad that some people in my city have been destroying them. But on the other hand I have some good news - I found a shop on Vester Voldgade, where there is another elephant located, which is a very special one - it is called Mosha. Mosha is an Asian elephant, which stepped on a landmine and its leg got blown off. Mosha is still alive because she was found and she got an artificial leg. In this shop there is a work shop, where kids can decorate their own elephants - I will try this another day and tell you later. See the new pictures of the elephants I added to my slideshow today:
Another interesting thing I found out during my hunt is that today was the National hotdog day. We ended up in the celebration. I ate one hotdog, my dad had three. What a lucky day...

Today I went to Lejre, 36 kilometres east of Copenhagen. Lejre is the most ancient capital of Denmark and home to the legendary king Skjold of Denmark. There are 25.000 burial mounds in Denmark, some of them are 5.000 years old. Today I crawled in to one of them, called Oem Jettestue. It is dark and little room in there. I also went to the Land of Legends Lejre Museum. You can make bread or flour there as people did many years ago, you can also go canoeing. I met my friend George there - it was a big surprise.We had a fun time together. I have got a season ticket to the Museum, so I look forward to coming back. I really enjoyed it!
Today I went to Dyrehavsbakken. It's the oldest entertainment park in the world. It is 500 years old. My favourite ride is the mine train. I also liked the water log ride. It has two hills where you go down in a log, you get really wet from the biggest hill. You can have a picnic in the park. You can get to Bakken by car or by S train (You go to Klampenborg station on the train). I really enjoyed it!

I went back to Dyrehavsbakken again together with my good friend Gustav to celebrate our last day of school. We went on all the rides and had an excellent time. Gustavs mum made a film of us when we took the water log ride, which is one of my favourites.
If you live in Copenhagen or visit Copenhagen, you can go to a Swedish island called Ven. You can only get there by ferry, it takes 1h 30 min and ferry leaves at 9.00 in the morning. Here is a link to more information about the ferry: link. It is always a good fun. You can either take your own bike on the ferry or rent a bike on the island or walk all the way. It is 11.7 km all the way around.There is a nice museum on Ven about the Danish scientist called Tycho Brahe. I went to Ven this weekend.The weather was gorgeous, the biking trip was a bit tough (nearly no paved roads and it is hilly). I could also swim but the water was really cold. I would definitely recommend this trip if it is nice weather .
There are 102 elephants decorated by artists all over Copenhagen.You can see them from the first of June to the twenty fifth of August 2011. They will be sold on the seventh September.They will send the money to the Asian elephants. I like to find out where all 102 elephants are, and it is a fun game to go around Copenhagen hunting them. If you find some more then please tell me.Some can be hidden in shops. I have found 49 elephants.
Here are photos that I took of some of the elephants:
