Copenhagen - day 3

Took train to Helsingor and then by bus to museum of Technology. History of technology is right there in front of you. Old aeroplanes, old telephones, early batteries, early experiments with electricity, old apparatus. It is educational for kids except my boys do not seem to be interested. We then visited Tivoli in Copenhagen. For Singaporean in their forties and fifties, they will know what I mean....Tivoli reminds me of Great World. Rides, pay to have 3 balls to throw and get a prize if you score three direct hits, rifles with moving targets, duck fishing, etc. Tivoli also have musical fountains, roller coaster, bungee seats just like the one in Clarke Quay. We also visit the Design Center and Planetarium. Good thing we pay for the Copenhagen card i.e. train and museum fares included, though not all museum. We are a little disappointed as the museums have little exhibits and mostly Danish explanation. Not sure if you will get value if you pay to get in to see. Singapore time 2:07am

Wow, so great, you get to enjoy a great holiday with your family! I can't wait to go to Europe too. From what you said, it is really expensive. My German friend told me that a movie ticket costs about $28. Really expensive. Wow, Malaysia Macdonald meal costs less than $3. Btw, any special Macdonald meal in Copenhagen? Eg, in Singapore, we have kaya toast.

SL, do not see any special or local meal advertised. A 1.5litre coke is 18konors plus 3 kr deposit i. almost $6!! Lots of history and very old buildings.
