Vor Frelsers Kirke- Our Saviour's Church

On a blustery day in Copenhagen, when rain somewhat threatened overhead, two siblings headed to one of the highest point in the city, to climb to the top of a golden spiral stair.

Vor Frelsers Kirke was built during the 1680s and was consecrated in 1696. The famous spire which has made this church one of the main tourist attractions in Danmark today was consecrated in 1752. Though the view from the top of the spire is one of the best views in town, climbing to the top is a little eerie, particularly on a windy day due to the spire being built of oak which is thus likely to sway in the wind.

Unfortunately, the two little pigs were not warned of such potential being latent in the tower. So when the wind huffed, and puffed, the littlest pig almost got blown away. Thankfully the railing on the side of the spire is almost the height of Natasha (little pig) so the result was merely a realization that it probably wasn't the best idea to climb the spire on the windiest day of Michael's visit.

In order to help our nerves after the potentially treacherous climb Michael and I treated ourselves to some pastries. Since Denmark is world famous for pastries, it is something that simply must be enjoyed when in Danmark. However, a word to the wise, a Danish does not exist in Danmark. What people refer to as Danishes in the U.S. are actually called wienerbrød.

After replenishing our energy we headed to Copenhagen's Botanical Gardens. These gardens are so peaceful and captivating in the spring with the myriad colors. My favorite spots, in case some of you can't guess, are the quiet nooks of the garden where you can fully relax.

So that was Michael and I's Wednesday in Copenhagen.

Vi Ses!
