My final full day in Copenhagen began with a fruitful breakfast, then we headed to Frederiksborg Castle, in Hillerød, about 30km north of Copenhagen city centre.

| Frederiksborg Castle! |
Frederiksborg Castle was built as the royal residence for King Christian IV of Denmark-Norway during the 17th century. It is the largest Renaissance Residence in Scandinavia as well as one of the most beautiful! After a serious fire in 1859 the castle was rebuilt in style of old paintings and plans and then once fully restored reopened to the public in 1882 as The Danish Museum of National History.
Shaylee and I tagged along to a Danish tour of the Castle, while Shaylee acted as a translator, but we soon tailed off on our own exploration.
Alex then joined us and the fantastic four headed to the amusement park Bakken for some fun! For just 200kr you have access to all the amazing, fun rides this place has to offer. Unfortunately as I was on a budget we walked through the woodland, hung out and rode the scariest roller coaster we could find.
A BBQ was on the table once we got home, and was left to the guys whilst Shaylee and I got ready for the night ahead! Two of her friends Emilie and Sofie joined us for food and some Danish drinking games.I, unfortunately, didn't understand what on Earth was going on, and kept loosing... i.e. having to take a drink of my drink. By the time we were ready to leave for central Copenhagen, I was practically drunk! Sigh.
Once off the train and in the city, I realised I had forgotten my purse back at the apartment- with my ID and money!! Oh gosh...
Shaylee said not to worry because I could just pay her back... and also use her ID?! Huuh? When she gave me her ID to use, I realised it was a student card, and apparently, the bouncers don't actually care that much about what you show them, as long as you show them something!
We ended up at the Australia Bar- an Australian themed bar, no waaay- where we got a table and danced the night away! Not that I remember much of the night, but I do remember one Danish guy saying how SEXY English girls were?! Pardon???? We all just cracked up laughing!
The next morning my head was pounding and I hardly remembered the journey home, apart from McDonald's and laying on Alex. I was hanging, but I had a flight to catch- urghhh. After a yummy fry up I was homeward bound.

| Thank you to all these lovely people for making my time in Denmark so wonderful... and a special thank you Shaylee, my beautiful cousin, I wish we lived closer together, but hey... distance makes the heart grow fonder ay! |
Peace&Love,
Willow
