Aalborg,to Billund,Legoland, to Copenhagen, to Niva

We took yet another early morning train away from Aalborg and to Billund, Legoland. We arrived and checked into to our lego hotel and went to check out all of the cool Legos. It was amazing how somebody could build all of that out of Legos. They even had sections of towns built out of Legos. The rides were the greatest though, they were so great, I went on some of there more than once! But as we started to have our fun, the dark clouds rolled in and poured rain on us. It only after a couple more hours we left to our hotel, soaking wet. The next day, we took a train to Copenhagen, right back where we started. That wasn't it though. We took another train to Niva, where our last exchange student we'd meet lived, Mie. She and her parents picked us up at the train station, and they drove us to their house, where we rested most of the day. The next day, we set out to go up north to see the castle of Kronborg. The castle was beautiful, it had a transition between new roofs and old roofs, which made it look interesting. What we did there was travel through the undergroud tunnels and channels which they called the casemates. It was scary down there, the only light was candle light every couple of corners. There were places so dark that it looked like something was going to jump out at you! We finally weaved our way through the terror of those casemates, which for used for protection in war and emergency escapes. After that we drove up to Helsingor where we checked out the harbor and walked around town. From the harbor, you see Sweden as clear as possible, it was so close that it only took fifteen mintues to get from one side to the other. After a long day in town, we settled down at Mie's house, waiting to go to Tivoli, a famous amusement park where Mie worked. We were able to get on free and were able to check all of the cool rides. The problem was, it poured down rain, just like it did in Legoland. We stayed inside for a while and only went on a couple more rides before we headed home, for we did have a big day ahead of us.
