last weekend we took a Lufthansa promotion
and went for a trip to Copenhagen, in Denmark
we arrived friday really late and only had time to search for the hotel



saturday we went by the river bank towards the Kastellet
passing right in front of the Opera and also by the Gifion Fountain
we ent back passing by the Design Museum and the Marble Church
with a view to the Amalienborg Palace and to the gardens
afterwards we went to the pedestrian area passing by Nyhavn
we got to the City Hall and came back through the University
and went to the hotel to take a rest for the next day



sunda we went back tot he Kastellet to see the famous (little) mermaid
(we hadn't realized saturday that it was so close)
and we came back again to the pedestrian area, this time to the Tivoli
after lunch we went to Cristianshavn
before we had to go back to the airport to get the plane back



despite the gray weather and the colds it was a really nice weekend!

romantic Edinburgh

las weekend we went to Edinburgh,
and I wasn't the one who booked, I only foun a bit before!!
but it was wprth it, the city is beautifull and fill of life
(it is just a pitty it is so grey... like the weather...)



we arrived friday afternoon, still with some time to walk around
after passing through a dodgy street...
we went by the National Museum of Scoltland and the Old College
and went in the Royal Mile right next to the area's Games Wokshop!
we continued going past the St. Giles Cathedtral, Real Mary's Close
and next the City Council and, across the street, the Parliament Hall
already tired we took a peek at the view from the North Bridge
and then went back to the Hotel (we only left later for dinner)



saturday we went to look at some more sights
went up to the Castle from where there is a very nice view over the city
afterwards we went to the comercial area, across the valey
where the National Galleries' and the Royal Academy's garden is
after walking around some more towards Queen Street we went back
to the romantic dinner we had reserved at the Hotel



sunday we slept till late and got the plane back
to arrive at Darmstadt a little after lunch time
and have a rest from the lightning visit!
