My last stop is Copenhagen. It would be my last day of holiday before transitting to Bangkok and after that back to Malaysia.

The zone of Copenhagen city |
Went to Carlsberg museum. I walk from the central station to Carlsberg museum. It is 45minutes walk.

Carlsberg museum |
My opinion, I will only come here once and basically, it is a very boring activity. Since I'm a beer drinker, I thought why not take a stroll?
After that, I took a stroll at their pedestrian street.

I just walk along the street until I reach Vesterbro. Vesterbro is one of the few spots in Copenhagen where you’ll find life even in the dead of night.

There's a stroll of cafe where you can chill out while watching people walking along by. And I had my dinner here before ending my day.

The Little Mermaid |
Came here the next morning. Unfortunately bump into a pack of China tourist and they are very rude. Luckily, I'm on my own so I wait until they finish off and I can have the whole mermaid myself!!
The Little Mermaid was a gift from Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen to the City of Copenhagen. The sculpture was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale about a mermaid who gives up everything to be united with a young, handsome prince in land. Every morning and evening, she swims to the surface from the bottom of the sea and perched on the rock in the water, she stares longingly towards the shore hoping to catch a glimpsed of her beloved prince.
Carl Jacobsen fell in love with the character after watching ballet performance based on the fairy tale at the Royal Danish Theater. The brewer was so captivated by the fairy tale and the ballet that he commissioned the sculptor Edvard Eriksen to create a sculpture of the mermaid. Eriksen's wife posed for the statue.

The Little Mermaid at Carlsberg Museum |
Apparently, the original sculpture of Little Mermaid at Langelinie was donated by Carl Jacobsen and he made a replica of the mermaid and put in Carlsberg museum garden.

Description |
And I am so bored of museum so I sit back and relax while my friend go inside and poke.
|
Relaxing day |
And after that, he went to Copenhagen National museum. OMG!!! He's a museum enthusiast!!! I remember in London National Museum, he spend 3 hours there and he still complaint not enough time.
This is the only most interesting part for me. And I spend two hours loitering around this museum. If you are museum enthusiast, you could spend one day here to read every detail and information.

Tivoli Garden |
My last stop is Tivoli Garden. My friend's wife recommend to me but I think it is more suitable if you come with children. Maybe she forgot that I don't have children? It is the second oldest amusement park in world. Quite a number of old people in this park where they come to relax and watch the live perfomance which most likely orchestra.
