there are free kayaks if you pick up trash. we will be there next week and Odensa. Oh also Faroes for hiking. My wife did Copenhagen Ironman in 2017 and have been back three times for long layovers on our way to other destinations. If ya ever get to Chicago or Milwaukee get in touch!
A verry interesting vlog.❤ It vas great to see. You are such a nice family. Last week the old stockexcange was burnt to the ground. Nobody got hurt, but it was a sad day.
Greetings, I am from South Africa and I enjoyed watching your video. I have just returned from a three week training in Copenhagen, and the memories of my experience there are still fresh...I was so fascinated by the bikes because when I was in high school I used a bike. Because we did not attend training during weekends, we used that time to explore and thanks to the Schengen Visa, we even ventured to places outside Denmark. I had fun because I went to Denmark already with a list of specific things to see e.g. Grundtvig's Church, Mermaid Statue, HC Andersen Museum, a Folk High School etc. I didn't get to see the Mermaid stutue and a Folk High School (time was just too short!). On our first weekend, we went to the Roskilde Cathedral, the Vikings Museum, etc and crossed over to Malmo in Sweden where a tour guide took us through a thorough tour. On the second weekend I took a train to Germany (Hamburg), leaving Copenhagen Central Station on Friday evening for a sleepover at Flensburg. I sat next to a nice old German man (an engineer) who lives in Flensburg and we spoke all the way...some along the way when we switches trains, we sat two guys, a Swiss and a Zimbabwean, and the conversation continued as if we had all been travelling together. At Flensburg I slept at a hotel owned by Macedonians and we initially struggle to understand each other! On Saturday, I continued with my trip to Hamburg and in the afternoon I took a train back to Denmark and slept over in Odense. The following day, Sunday, was dedicated to the visit to the HC Andersen Museum...I am an author myself, hence my visit to and fascination with the HC Andersen Museum. Later, I walked through town and the weather was so cold, especially by the river. In the afternoon, I was back on the train to Copenhagen, where I almost got fine after renting a bicycle...but I did not escape a fine on the Metro for having only a receipt instead of the train ticket. I think I am going to write a book about this...and I am definitely going to bring my family for a visit. I took so many pictures and videos, my Samsung S22 got so full that I had to delete some stuff.
You guys do not have to apologise for bad danish. I am impressed as to how excellent both of your prnunciations are. Jamie … I think I lured your trick … you just say it, and doesn’t overthink how you think it should be said. Your “smørrebrød”- pronunciation was very impressive. I would have thought you’d practiced for month. Impressive considering you guys are just “regular” tourists, and haven’t been living in Denmark.
About the bikes. It is estimated that about half of Copenhagens commuters get to and from work at least in part by using their bikes. You can bring the bike in the S-Tog over/underground train network. Having half the commuters go by bike frees up room on the roads and promotes a healthier lifestyle. There is also a developed public transport system consisting of a mix of buses, metro, S-tog and mid-range commuter lines.
Your pronounce of smørrebrød and Nyhavn is the best I have heard from an American. Smørebrød impressed me, it was correct, of course I could hear your accent, but the pronounce was realy good.
@@abroadwiththeburrells It's not disrespect, just a difficult language and we Danes knows it, and we are used to it. Sometimes we can even get a discrete laugh/smile out of it. I guess you are using Google Translate, that's fine. Google Translate is pretty good between these two languages. Should you be traveling in Iowa, there is a town founded by Danish immigrants, Elk Horn. I hear it is worth a visit. They even have an original Danish mill. It was transported brick for brick to the US. Have a nice trip.
@@abroadwiththeburrells Yep I was going to comment the same, but I see Gert-DK did so already, so just adding my sentiment here that there is no reason to apologise. Especially since many people would probably mispronounce the name of the British city of Reading if they only learn about it from reading ;)

You three are absolutely wonderful. So interesting to follow your travels. Thank you :)
We truly appreciate your views and your wonderful comments!
The colored house were built before house numbers were a thing. So if you had to send a letter to someone, you'd write 'color' house on 'street'.

The roast beef one is legit Smørrebrød too. That's the one I usually pick.
Phew! Your comment is good to hear. We thought we had eaten a fake one, haha!
