June 23
Today I finally got to sleep in, but I also wanted to go an
see some sights around Copenhagen, so I woke Kevin and Mick up. We went to the Botanisk Have, which means the Botanic Gardens. Here we saw, beautiful gardens and got
to explore in them. We eventually
made our way to Rosenbourg Castle as well in Kings Garden. Kevin wanted me to take a picture with
the guard so I did, and when I approached him he said it was all right to take
a picture, but it was not all right to get to close. I guess he liked to have plenty of personal space.
We then went back to Skindergade 40 and relaxed for a while
and made dinner before going to Sankt Hans, which is the burning of the witch,
in Fredericksburg Park. The
celebration of Midsummers’s eve was a festival of summer solstice. Bonfires were lit to protect against
evil spirits and in later years, witches were burned in them.
