Today we got to finally meet Sahra's parents, Hanne and Niels-Christean, and they were really nice! After eating breakfast we all walked through the beautiful Kings Garden to Nyhavn (Pronounced as Newhound) After walking around for a little they took us to a hotdog stand for a famous Danish hotdog. The hotdogs came with onions, pickles, spicy mustard, remoulade, ketchup, and fried onions. Mimi and I like our hotdogs plain so we got what they call a "French Hotdog" and everyone is still continuing to give us a hard time for it.
After Nyhavn we walked down through their famous shopping area on our way to Tivoli, an amusement park near by. Sahra's parents bought us tickets so we could go on any ride we wanted. We started with the oldest wooden roller coaster, the one ride March is comfortable doing. Once we finished that one we headed to the bigger rides, planning on doing every single one. The biggest ones were Dæmon (which we did twice) Vertigo (Twice again. This one pretty much against our will, we only went because Mimi wanted to so bad) The Golden Tower (This one three times because Lanie found a lot of humor in me screaming my head off) and lastly the Aquila which we did once. My personal favorite was the Dæmon.
Once we were done with our long day at the amusement park Sahra's dad picked us up and took us back to the apartment where her family had prepared a delicious dinner. We had stegt flæsk with potatoes and persille sovs (fried pork chops and potatoes and gravy) There we were able to meet her brother Nicolaj, his wife Signe, and their daughter Carolina who is 9 months old. The whole family was so nice, and very welcoming.
After everyone was done eating, we visited for a while before it was time to say our goodbyes. March thinking we were done for the day went to lay down, only to find out we had some energy left in us and wanted to go down to the park. Sahra showed us the way to a park near by where me and Mimi could kick around a soccer ball, and Lanie and March could pass a volleyball back and forth. While Sahra took back a bike she borrowed, March had the idea to do two on two with the soccer ball. It was me and Mimi against him and Lanie. I'd like to think Mimi and I won :) At a soccer field right next to us a game was going on. It ended in a tie so we were able to watch an exciting shoot out before heading back. We ended our night with some yummy ice cream Sahra bought us and a World Cup soccer game on T.V.
Copenhagen is even better than I imagined!
