Traveling in Relative Hell.
We celebrated Independence Day on the Independence of the Seas in beautiful Copenhagen. Scott celebrated his independence by intentionally “losing” us in Tivoli Gardens. Something was rotten in the state of Denmark, indeed! When Dev was served a cheeseburger with a mustard and Lauren a yellow tarter sauce, their discomfort for a change to their condiments caused me to quote the Bard’s words for his melancholy Prince Hamlet, “There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, that can be found in your philosophy.” My pseudo-intellectualism wasn’t missed on Lauren, who quoted CSI Miami’s Horatio in return. Aside from Tivoli Gardens on Hans Christian Anderson Blvd where I saw Swans with Ugly Ducklings (spoiler alert! They grow up to be beautiful swans), we also did an awesome canal cruise, saw the Little Mermaid statue, and holiday-appropriately flaunted our independence to our British co-passengers. While I always enjoyed a good Danish, their city was one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. This Little Match Girl gives Copenhagen 5 Hamlets and no poor Yoricks
