Having taken Michael to King's garden on his first day in Copenhagen, it was only natural that one of the next stops in his exploration of the city would be Rosenborg Slot.
This castle, which is adjoined to King's Garden, was built by Christian IV, the same King who commissioned Frederiksborg Slot. Not only does this castle proffer a wide assortment of articles from royals of the past, but it also houses the Royal Crown Jewels. For those of you who know Michael, you can imagine how intrigued he was by every item in the collection.
Yet Rosenborg was not the entirety of our day, but only the beginning. From there we took to walking the cobblestone streets of Copenhagen, meandering towards our next stop, the Round Tower. The Round Tower extends back to the time of Christian IV. When one learns about the history of Copenhagen's magnanimous buildings of old, one finds that a large number were build by Christian IV. The round tower is no exception. Built as an addition to Copenhagen University (KU) the tower complex called the Trinitatis Complex (the tower is connected to a church) served the students as the University church, library and observatory until 1861. In the modern day the Round Tower is used primarily for its sky high views of the city, providing many a tourist with a bird's eye view.

After the Round tower we walked to the Østerbro area of København, specifically Parken the football stadium. In February I had purchased tickets for a F.C.K. game while Michael would be visiting, giving them to Michael as a birthday present in addition to an F.C.K. football jersey. So Thursday evening we headed to the stadium for the F.C.København game against F.C.Midtjylland.

All in all it was an exciting game, particularly since the experience was so new for Michael. F.C.København ended up winning the game 5-2.
And thus ends another day in the adventures of two siblings!!
Vi Ses!
