So day 2 of Copenhagen was a bit better then the first. Thanks to TripAdvisor, I found this awesome tour of Copenhagen done on a Segway! It was ranked as the #1 “activity” in Copenhagen. I booked a 10am tour, but before the tour came breakfast.<\/p>\n

Breakfast in Copenhagen, or more specifically,\u00a0 my hotel was much more reasonable at around 50DKK, which was around $10 US. Not too bad, and since I figured I would pay double anywhere else I made it happen. When I did, I learned something about breakfast in Denmark. Breakfast is really lunch. And by that I mean that Denmark breakfast consisted of 10 different types of cheeses, processed lunch meats (ham, turkey, salami, etc) along with several different types of bread. In other words- LUNCH<\/strong>. Sure there was a tiny section of bran flakes and milk in a corner, but come on. After lunch<\/span><\/em> breakfast, I was off to the Segways!<\/p>\n

Prior to today I had only rode a Segway once, and it was at Disney World where they let you ride it for 30 seconds and only just to say you’ve ridden one. This, however, was SO MUCH BETTER<\/strong>! I arrived to find I’d be sharing my tour with 2 other gentlemen, both from London. Our tour guide\/owner of the company was Seamus, and he was awesome.<\/p>\n

Here’s a pic of me when we first started the tour. Notice the river is frozen. Also notice the the creepy statue in the water. What the hell is that?!<\/p>\n

Segway!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We drove all around Copenhagen pointing out different areas and buildings. He even took a video of me being goofy on my Segway! For obvious reasons, I won’t be posting the goofy video of me but here’s another photo as a consolation. (I love the California license plate, by the way)<\/p>\n

Segway....so....cold....<\/p><\/div>\n

We stopped at a coffee shop along the way to warm up since it was below freezing. After our little break, Seamus took us to see the changing of the guard at the Amalienborg Palace, which is the winter home of the Denmark royal family. It was pretty neat to see something like that, as I’d never really seen anything related to royalty before.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video I shot:<\/p>\n
