Today Saturday 13th - Loppedmarked very nice handmade earrings great price

Christianshavn Tor - right by Metro - woman has some really gorgeous handmade earring, good prices, I got two pairs for 50 DKK.

Paddle Boating - Who knew?

Cool restaurant with beach lounge and paddle boats. Go to the train station in Nørreport then head towards the canal. I don't know the address or the name, sorry guys, but it is right across the bridge.

They have a dock set up as a floating beach to lounge on while you eat or just go straight to the paddle boats. The price is right 85 DKK for the three person one or a little more for an hour on the big one.

Didn't try the food so if you do please let us know how it is.

Guinness World Record Museum and 4 Pack on Stroget

Yes, it's silly but well worth it! I have been avoiding those goofy museums since we got here but Grandma and Grandpa bought us the multiple attraction pass available at their ticket office(s). "Go Grandma!" This is the pass that lets you in Guiness World Record Museum, Mystic Exploritorium (both by Kongens Nytorv) Ripleys Believe it or Not Museum, and the Hans Christian Anderson Museum (by City Hall/Tivoli). You can visit them the same day or one at a time.

Dreading the shear cheesiness, we started at Guiness - and had a great time! Then we followed this by going right next door and putting our tokens in to enter the Exploritorium (Goofy horror museum), all hands on activities. It took up a couple of hours and the kids had a blast and I liked it too. I liked reading the facts, which are all in English, and they liked the many hands on activities in both attractions.

This week, so about a month later, we went to the other end of the Stroget and did Ripleys and HC Anderson. They are next to each other by KFC in City Hall Square. Not as cool as the first two but still fun and the price to do all 4 instead of just one made it worth it. Even better if Grandma and Grandpa pay! Ripleys had a lot of fun info for adults and older kids but not as much hands on as Guiness and the HC Anderson one was full of facts but also stations with cool diplays where they read the whole story to you in your choice of several languages.

Overall, a fun ticket to keep in your pocket and to visit when you run out of ideas.

Any English-Speaking ExPats have children looking for Playdates this Summer

Anyone interested? I have an 8 and an 11 year old boy and we are staying in Denmark this summer. There's a lot to do but not a lot of friends in town their age to do it with. So anyone interested in scheduling a group activity - we could go to Klatreskoven, Tivoli, the beach or anywhere else?
