| I spent just half a day and a night in
Copenhagen with my wife and our then very little Amrita. You may imagine
that we could hardly see anything of the town. A walk at the seaside, a
glance at the world-famous "Little Mermaid". (Edward
Eriksen sculptured her in bronze and his wife Eline Eriksen modelled. The
story says that she is a sea king's half-human and half-fish daughter, who
must wait on her rock for 300 years before she can enter the world of
humans. She's been sitting here since 1913 so she still has a few more
years to go.) A walk in the downtown, some important buildings. Tivoli
(also world-famous entertainment centre) would have been a must with our
small child, but the time was short even for that or probably we found it
closed?
We were able somehow to make a short trip in the evening hours to fort
Kronborg, the site of Shakespeare's Hamlet at Helsingör. It was really
impressive and interesting. |
