The forecast today wasn’t brilliant but the
weather did hold off for us to do a couple of things. We began the day with a drive to Dragor a
cute little village by the coast; you can actually see Sweden from the
bay. We visited the Dragor Fort which
was built between 1910-1915 as a way to protect Dragor and also to control
shipping vessels. Now it is this grassy
hotel/restaurant. We enjoyed walking
around the top and looking at the left over remains of the fort. We could also see the Øresund Bridge, which is an 8km long bridge and
4km tunnel under the Baltic. On Saturday
we will cross the bridge on our way to Oslo, Norway. After this we drove to Amager Strandvej
(beach) were Taylor, Corban and Leo all had a swim. The water is beautiful and clear but also
freezing cold so no one went very deep and didn’t stay in long. Because the rain didn’t come we ventured to
Cristiania, a hippy enclave/alternative community were you could buy local
handicrafts, art, alcohol and drugs!
Basically we walked though pretty quick and wouldn’t recommend it, but
it did take us to Church of Our Saviour, which has a very cool spiral spire that
we walked to the top of. To reach the
top of the spire you had to walk up some rickety stairs, past all the dirty
dusty bells and hope like anything the kids didn’t fall to the bottom off the
side of the stairs. A guy who was a
little scared of heights even grabbed the front of Corbans jacket in fear when
we were on our way down and he was on his way up, he didn’t mean to and she
didn’t mind it certainly wasn’t for the faint hearted. Taylor stayed at the bottom but the two
little kids loved it.
