Copenhagen Laser-tag!

When it was my birthday I had an amazing party at Refshaleøen paintball arena. we played Laser-tag not paintball. Everybody said it was the best party they ever tried. We made two teams, team hats and team no hats. We all got laser guns (not real laser) and a headband. The head band had some sensors so that we could see when we got hit. We had 6 lives. The arena was filled with some red and black soft shapes. I was first on one team then I changed to another team. There were also giant sumo costumes.

It was very tiring because we ran alot in arena. The instructor was very good. We had pizza and cake after the party. This building will soon be the place where EuroVision song contest will happen.

I really enjoyed it

Mærsk Triple E

Last Saterday, I went to see Mærsk Triple E. Mærsk Triple E is the largest ship ever to sail. It is 400m long and can hold 18,000 containers! It was amazing to see it here it Copenhagen. From the top there is a fantastic view. The bridge is 57m above sea level! It weighs 63,844 tons without any containers! Mærsks second biggest ship could hold 16% less conatainers.

I think it was absolutely huge. It was a magnificent experience, however Triple E has sadly sailed away again:(

Here is a video of it

Den Blå Planet (The Blue Planet)

Yesterday I went to the blue planet with my grandmother, uncle and cuisine. We all liked it alot but the line to get in is very long usually, we stood in line about an hour to get in under the heat of the sun. Coming by car? There are alot of parking spaces.

The blue planet is Scandinavia's biggest aquarium, with more than 20.000 different species of fish and 7 million liters of water. It has eight different sections, coral reef, the atlantic, fish evolution, african lakes, the amazon, the caves, the cold oceans and far up north.

Hauser Plads' playground

Hello, today I will tell you about Hauser Plads. Hauser Plads is a little square in central Copenhagen, it was made in 1768 and it was named after Conrad Caspar Hauser, who married the sister of the Danish consul in Algeria. Conrad Hauser was a very rich man. In 1807 Hauser Plads was destroyed when the English bombed Copenhagen, but then it was rebuilt again.
I really like the new playground on this square. I think it is perfect way to spend time. My little sister goes there every day! Luckily it is very close to where we live. She really enjoyes going on the swing and playing in the sand pit. The playground almost looks like Teletubbie Land because of the pine trees, the small green hills and the funny shapes. And there is a nice coffee shop just across from the playground, which is very popular with parents :)

Ørsted Park play grounds

The Ørsted Park is a very nice park in central Copenhagen. I went there with my 1 and a half year old sister. She really enjoyed it.

The park has two nice play grounds. One of the play grounds is bigger than the other. The smallest play ground is made of wood, and has a castle with a slide that my sister really enjoyed. The other play ground is a bit newer and much larger. 

Close to the park there is a very nice food court called Torvehallerne where I bought Fish 'n' Chips, that I ate in the park. There is also a nice lake and trees. In Summer there are very many flowers, and a small cafe where you can buy an ice-cream.

Goose Tower

Hello, today I was in Vordingborg to see the Goose Tower. The Goose Tower is a historical sight, and also very old. It is 33 meters high. 

It is a part of a castle built by Valdemar the Great. But the Goose Tower was built by Valdemar the Victorious in 1336. It has a golden goose on top of it. Valdemar the Victorious said that 77 geese or 77 chickens will not scare him. He said this to make fun of Hanseatic league. The Goose Tower is the only part left from the castle.

I really liked the view from the top and the Tower. Here you can see a bridge to a nearby island, the ruins of the old castle and the harbor.

WARNING! You have to walk up alot of stairs with high steep steps.

While in Vordingborg, you can see Vordingborg harbor and buy ice-cream. There is also a very nice beach in Vordingborg called Ore Strand. 

It was very exciting and fun.

Copenhagen Zoo after 67 years...

Today I went to Copenhagen Zoo with my grandmother. She says that the first time she was in this Zoo was 67 years ago and she had not been there since. Grandma said that the animals used to stay in cages. Now the animals have habitats like their home, but the brown bear still does not seem to like the place it is. She said that the only thing that has not changed is the Zoo tower.

There has come an Arctic ring since the last time I was there. The Arctic ring is a complex dedicated to Arctic and arctic animals. We saw a polar bear swimming in the Arctic ring. It was mind-blowing.

There has come a baby elephant. The elephant's parents are so protective of it. There is also a baby hippo. The hippo was sleeping while the mother was watching it kindly. There were very many new baby animals. All the parents of the animals where so generous and kind to their children.

Little Mermaid

Hello, today I am going to tell you about The Little Mermaid. A couple of days ago I visited The Little Mermaid, and she is probably one of the best known attractions in Copenhagen.

The Little Mermaid was built by Carl Jacobsen, the founder of Carlsberg, in 1909. There have been many copies of her, for example, there is a half sized version in Canada. In 1964 the statues head was cut of, however it was restored. Then it was decapitated again in 1998. It is a very nice walk or bike tour there, and I personally think it is a very crowded but beautiful place. There is a nice view to the sea. It is close to Kastellet, one of my other blogs will tell you about it. You can also walk to the Outlet, a place with very many shops, you can also buy ice-cream.
