Suzyki's Travels: Sweden, days 21-27

Whoa. It's been a week since I last posted. I fully intended to post while I was at my friends house in southern Sweden but I spent most of my time just relaxing and chatting with her and her family. I love going to her house because she lives in a small city and it is hard not to relax.

While we were at her house, Abby got sick. I won't go into detail but the hospital experience was interesting. Iam thankful that she got sick in a place where we could get some help from a local.

We went to Copenhagen for one day to go to the Hard Rock Cafe, which counts #4 for this trip. The food and shirt was a little on the high side, but we went there and got a shirt (for Abby). It was supposed to rain all day, but we went there anyways. It rained off and on.

We took the train over a body of water to get to Copenhagen. It was only a 50 minute train ride. Once we arrived, we got a map and discussed where to go. We got out of the train station and found Tivoli gardens (an amusement park) right in front of the station. We didn't go there because we wanted to check other things out.

City hall

We are here!

Strøgen (street with lots of shopping)

It was one of our places to check out and it just happened that the Hard Rock Cafe was there too! It was a bit early but we decided to go ahead and eat there.

Interesting lamp fixtures

Shop til you drop

Nyhavn (another must see place)... Different colored house/store fronts by the water

Other side of Nyhavn

Harbor

We walked back on Strøgen to get to the train station. This H&M is like the flagship. It was 3 floors tall and so huge. I almost got lost on there!

They also had a Lego store. This is their model of Nyhavn.

Tower Bridge in London!

We also planned to see the little mermaid statue. It was raining and a bit far so we decided to turn back. We saw a replica of the statue at the airport!

On another day, we visited Lund, Linda's childhood city.

Exterior of the Deaf school. It will be closed soon and the school moved to another school with hearing students.

Love the detail on the staircase

Mixture of the past with the modern. Old building with a rainbow pride flag in one of the windows

They have a clock that automatically shows the date and time and they play a show at intervals during the day. We were fortunate enough to catch the 3 pm show.
