Happy Birthday Queen Margrethe! + Legoland

April 16th was the Queen's birthday, and they do several special things for it. All the buses fly Danish flags and the fountain on Stroget has golden apples floating in it. Also, the Queen and the entire royal family comes out on the balcony in Amelienborg to wave to schoolchildren and the rest of the crowd. Obviously, since I had seen the Queen of England, I could not leave Denmark without seeing their Queen too! It was really cute, all the little children sang her happy birthday in Danish and kept calling her to come out again. Her little grandchildren were also adorable. Afterwards we had a lunch of smorrebrod at Nyhavn. Overall, we felt super Danish.

On Saturday we went on the DIS trip to Legoland. I couldn't live in Denmark without going to see the Lego mecca, which is three hours away from Copenhagen. Legoland is AWESOME! There were lego figures everywhere and tons of fun rides. I would not recommend it as the place to go if you are only into roller coasters, but it had tons of really cute rides that took you past all the amazing lego creations. Also, it would be great in the summer because there were all these water rides and play areas. My favorite part was lego models of various monuments and cities. I liked lego Nyhavn best, we could even spot the restaurant where we ate on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I dropped my camera once we got there and broke it. Buying a new camera in Denmark is pretty complicated, but at least I still have all my pictures and my new camera is much better than my old one!
