1) Go to Carlsberg Brewery
2) Go to a castle (Frederiksborg Slot)
3) Play Soccer at DTU
So... i don't play soccer.. so number 3's out... i don't drink much... so i guess number 1 is out too..(going to Carlsberg entitles u to 2 jugs of beer there, free of charge..)
So yeah... i went to the Castle... haha...
It was at quite an ulu place... have to take the train from Lyngby all the way to the end... and then from the end Station, we have to walk abt 15 to 20 mins to reach the town...
The moment we walk to the town square, there's a statue standing in the middle, with a big lake behind it... That's the Statue of the King, King Christian IV... Well, according to the guide... he loved building castles and he built quite a few... one of them is Frederiksborg Slot... Click the link to read a little more about the Palace...
Well, the Castle really look pretty magnificent when i was across the lake.. quite a nice scenery i must say... big lake.. and a castle behind it...
We took a stroll by the lake..(me and my friends are busy snapping pictures and lost track of where the group went..=X) and slowly approach the Castle.. it was a pretty long walk before we finally reach the main entrance... On reaching the main entrance, a fountain greeted up and i must say.. another nice sight with the castle just behind the fountain.. haha...
After some snapping of photos here and there (we are tourists!! what u expect!?!), we purchased a ticket(50DKK!!!) to go into the National History Museum... It's been housed in this castle since 1878 and it illustrates the Danish history from 1500 until present day...
The Museum is big.. spanning 3 floors... but i guess this is where my excitement starts to wear off... I guess it's due to the fact that i do not have much knowledge of the Danish history..(only know they fought quite a lot of wars.. conquered alot of places.. including UK... were the vikings... and finally start to lose their territories in later wars..)
After walking 2 floors.. i started to get a bit bored and well... tired from all the walking.. haha... Well so the 3rd floor was kinda rushed thru... hehe... After the Museum.. we went to the Garden of the Castle... it is very big and from a room within the castle, u can view the whole majestic Garden... However the camera angle was bad and it was being blocked so i can't take pictures of it... the hedges in the Garden forms a shape of a crown(Danish logo..) which seems very obvious as seen from the castle...
But well.. when we went to the garden..(another 10 mins walk) it started to rain.. so didn't really see much... anyway... when u are there it just feels like another park.. have to see thru the room to have the majestic feeling.. haha!
After touring the castle.. the guide wanted to go for some coffee and chat probably... but well.. few of us felt like going back.. haha.. so we drop by the supermarket on our way back to buy some stuffs... hehe! =X
After a whole day of walking around... both of us are damn tired and we decided to treat ourselves to...... PIZZAS!!! haha... there's a pizzaria in DTU... opened by some Turkish guy so we decided to give it a try.. 120DKK for 2 pizza(pretty big) and a 1,5l cola... he gave us a choice between 1.5l cola or 5 cans cola... since each can is 330ml... 5 cans == 1650ml!!! so of course cans la.. haha... Singaporean spirit!!! =X On seeing that there's 2 of us.. the friendly Turkish guy decided to throw in one more.. making it 6 cans so we can divide... how nice!!!! hahahaha...
Here's the Pizza!!!
Though it doesn't look very good... i must say it taste quite nice actually!!! haha... they are DTU Special and Lyngby Special.. lol... Maybe can go back some other time to try others when we are too busy to cook! hhe!Kelvin
