The four began the day with a goal of climbing the tower on Our Savior Church:. Cultural Moment: The Church of Our Savior is a baroque church in Copenhagen, Denmark, most famous for its helix spire with an external winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. So, what this means is that there is a tower outside than winds around the church. So here is how it goes. A person climbs the stairs inside until they get to the viewing platform. Then one starts climbing outside as the stairs get narrower and smaller until finally the stairs just stop. (At the end, Debbie was just clinging to the outside of the church. She finally just said “No, oh no” and turned around desperately holding on to the side of the church until she made it back to the viewing platform. (Joyce had a different experience and was trying to climb with a group of college kids. She thinks that she may be in several pictures now. ) Joyce also clung to the outside of the church.
Joyce had discovered and researched Christiania and wanted to visit. Cultural Moment: Christiania was founded in 1971, when a group of people cut a hole in the fence to the military barracks to become squatters. There are about a 1000 people that live there. A third work outside, a third work inside Christiania and a third don’t work. Christiania has an agreement with Copenhagen for utilities and handle their own security. The area has gates with “Entering Christiania” on one side and “Entering the EU” on the opposite side. Let’s just call it Hippie Heaven and all the associated things that go with it. The four did not stay there too long.
To top of their exciting morning, the group along with several Danish school classes visited Tivoli. What is Tivioli you ask? Tivioli is an amusement park built in 1843. The group did not actually ride one of the rides. (Debbie saw some potential “lose your lunch” rides and declined.) Tivioli had some interesting buildings.
Joyce was happy because she had duck for lunch. If Joyce is happy, everyone is happy. So happily, the group decided to visit City Hall and take an English tour (Or at least they thought that is what they were doing). City Hall is a very busy wedding venue. While waiting for the tour, Debbie accidentally got into the wedding hall. She had to scurry back down the stairs to the surprise of a bride and groom. The group noticed couples came in every 15 minutes are so. Some of the couples looked happy and some did not.
Now for the English tour. Here is how it goes.
The guard yells “English Tower Tour?”
The Tourists: “Yes”
Guard: “Follow me” and then he races up 6 flights of stairs as fast as he can go with huffing tourists trailing behind him from floor 1 to 6. As they staggered on to floor 6, the guard said “Put your backpack in the lockers and I will stay with your stuff while you continue on up the tower.” The four had been to Our Savior Church and were not going down without a fight. On they went but suddenly heard the clamoring of a junior high class hot on their heels which meant passing on narrow stairs. (Don’t they ever go to a real class?)
Larry: “Debbie, are we on the Amazing Race? I can’t even watch that show on TV without getting stressed. Why are those little kids following me?”.

Debbie: “We are going to beat those little junior high kids even if I have to give them my super stink eye plus I will limp up the stairs to block for the rest of you”.
Debbie is happy to report that the group did make it up to the top of the tower in front of the junior high class and then turned around and ran down as fast as they could. Debbie also gave a stink eye to the guard for calling this a tour.
Sounds like that they should be done for the day. Nope, they had tickets and couldn’t let them go to waste. One last thing to see – The Danish Museum of Natural History. The biggest excitement was that Debbie got lost for awhile and wandered aimlessly. (Phone died).
All in all it was a successful day with many stairs climbed, hippy heaven visited, and a bit of history thrown into the mix. Now home to eat leftovers and prepare for another move.
