Last day in Copenhagen for this time and still a lot we both wanted to do so the boys and girls went their separate ways before coalsescing for a final dinner with some of the family.
Drew and Lozza:
From day 1, Drew had been pestering (asking nicely a LOT of times per hour) to go to The Experimentarium - a giant hands on Scitech like interactive Childrens Science museum.
First, the
Dinosaur section.
 |
| Happy to be here |
 |
| Drew built this dinosaur to be not very good at hunting or disguise |
 |
| A moments silence for T-Rex |
This was quite cool. You took a rock specimen from the wooden box then used your tool on the workbenches to slowly search the rocks for dinosaur fossils. We both found teeth.
Next section was
light and illusions.
 |
| Learning about polarising light and why dads like to wear sunglasses |
 |
| Sneaky brain tricks us again |
 |
| Front view and side view |
Next to the
water section.
My favourite was the hand in ice water experiment. Ouch.
Drew most enjoyed the surfing.
 |
| Making whirlpools |
This is the water surfing. The sorta plastic hairy carpet moves upwards controlled by a very pretty blonde girl just out of view.
The line was long but a nice Danish Granny had ner nephew with and asked us if we would like to jump the queue. Too right!
Anyways, it turns out that the red headed boy was also on holiday. He lives in Perth in a suburb called Inglewood ie. 5 minutes from us. Weird.
The Aussie boys were definitely the best surfers.

Next section was the
medical section.
My favourite were the experiments with mono and stereo sound.
Drew liked the anatomy lesson - real sheep heart and lungs. I ended up giving the tutorial. Play my cards right and I may be able to get a job there?
After moving at rocket pace for 4 hours, it was
one more wall climb then back to the hotel.
Zoe and Ree
The girls has a much busier time but luckily for a guy trying to get through a late night blog, did not take too many pictures.
- Amalienborg Castle - changing of the guard.
- Royal Chappel
- Rosenborg Castle to see the Crown Jewels and the Royal Treasurey
- Strolled the Strogt aka went shopping
The
final supper:
We met up with 2nd Cousin Desiree, partner Hans and sister Ulla to have a BBQ on the rooftop of Desiree's east village like apartment.
To finish the trip surrounded by family was terrific. The kids are well bonded with their Danish side. Fun, laughs, good food and conversation not to mention Migos (
mee-goss) the soccer mad
Men In Black like dog who would header a plastic ball for hours should you give him the chance.
It was dark when we left to get our early night before leaving the next day.

Till tomorrow
Time to leave Denmark now.
Dubai beckons for a few days of R&R, thought collection and a damn big inward sigh before the final leg of this journey back home.
We are all looking forward to seeing friends, cats and our own beds (note no mention of school or work).
We are all defnitely not looking forward to early mornings (ie before 9:30 wake ups), strict schedules or cold weather.
Still - that's still a few days away yet.

| Growing up |
 |
| Awwww |
 |
| Would stay here again - the mini bar is "free" for soft drinks. |
Walked to the subway around the corner from the hotel. Train to the airport every 10 minutes. Copenhagen is smaller than Perth in population with a good size but not really big airport so why can't Perth be anything like this?

| Doing the baggage stroll for the last time this trip |
