Laupäeva hommik algas õpilastele varakult. Meid ootas hommikusöök ning ka kooli aulakoristamine, kus olime öö veetnud. Peale neid tegevusi suundusime Kopenhaagenisse. Sõit Taani pealinna kestis ligikaudu 1,5 h, sest vahemaa oli peaaegu 105 km.
Kopenhaageni äärelinnas oli näha, et käib pidev suurte elamurajoonide ehitamine ning kujundamine. Linna tsentrumisse sisenedes avanes võimalus nautida pealinna huvitavaid kivist majakesi, millest enamus olid punastes toonides.
Esimesena suundusimegi vaatama ja imetlema Kopenhaageni võib-olla kõige külastatavamat ja kuulsaimat paika – väikest Merineitsit. Koht oli nagu arvatagi turistidest pungil. Meeleolu lõbustas ka üks tänavamuusikute grupp. Selle imeilusa vees seisva vasest kuju juures tegime oma grupiga ka ühise pildi.
Järgmisena suundusime bussiga linnaekskursioonile. Nii saime bussis istudes ja välja vaadates ülevaate Kopenhaageni tuntumatest ja kuulsamatest vaatamisväärsustest ja kohtadest. Seejärel sõitsime raekoja platsile, et alustada jalgsiekskursiooni. Nendel munakividest tänavatel paiknesid erinevad poed ning muidugi purskkaevud ja muud dekoratsioonid. Kõndinud juba üsna palju, suundusime vanalinnas asunud torni, kust avanes suurepärane vaade Kopenhaagenile. Oli näha, et linn on väga tihedalt asustatud ning muidugi ka kõrgelt arenenud. Huvitav oli, et torni tippu tõusmiseks ei pidanud kõndima mööda treppe. Torni sai tõusta hoopis mööda ringjal kulgevat teed. Peale torni külastamist jätkus meie jalgsi ekskursioon ning suundusime toomkirikusse. Kirik oli väga ilus nii seestpoolt kui ka väljastpoolt. Tundus, et toomkirik oli ka turistide meelispaik. Toomkiriku külastamisele järgnes väljastpoolt kuninganna lossiga tutvumine. Eriti huvitavad tundusid seda lossi valvanud sõdurid. Nende riietus ning valvesüsteem tundus grupile väga huvitavad ja muidugi ka veidi tavapäratud. Kuninganna lossi tutvumisega lõppeski meie esimene päev Kopenhaagenis. Edasi suundusime head sööki Türgi restorani nautima ning siis juba oma ööbimispaika. Seal saime oma väsinud jalgu puhata ning ennast järgmisest päevaks ette valmistada.
Olime päevaga Kopenhaagenis väga rahul, sest saime linna nautida nii grupiga kui ka ise. Päev kujunes võib-olla veelgi huvitavamaks kui algselt arvanud olime. Lisaks vaatamisväärsuste jäädvustamisel oma fotoaparaatides ning mälus, saime Kopenhaageni kohta teada ka palju muid ajaloolisi kui ka mitteajaloolisi fakte. Koos sellega harisime ka ennast, mis iseenesest oligi kõige tähtsam.

Saturday morning began early to all the students. We woke up and we had to clean the school assembly hall where we had slept and after that we had breakfast. After breakfast we headed for Copenhagen. The journey to the capital of Denmark lasted for about one and a half hour, the distance was about 105 km.
In the suburbs of Copenhagen we saw new housing estates being built. When we arrived in the city centre, we had an opportunity to enjoy the capital’s interesting houses made of stone. Almost all the houses were in different tones of red.
First, we headed to see and admire maybe the most famous place – The Little Mermaid. The place was full of tourists, as we thought it would be. A group of street musicians put in a good humour.
We took our group picture near the beautiful statue.
Next, we went on an excursion by bus. This way, sitting on the bus, we had an interesting tour around the city. Then the bus took us to Town Hall Square and we went on an excursion on foot. In those cobblestoned streets there were all kinds of different shops and decorations and fountains. After having walked for some time, we headed for a tower in the Old Town, where an amazing view opened over the city. We could see, that the city was densely populated and of course it was highly developed.
The interesting thing was, that we couldn’t get to the top of the tower by stairs, but there was a road going in a circle towards the top. After visiting the tower, our excursion continued in the Marble Church. The church was very beautiful in the inside and in the outside. After that we walked down to the castle of the queen. The soldiers, guarding the castle, were especially interesting. Their outfit and guarding system seemed very exciting to us.
After we had finished visiting the outside of the queen’s castle, our first day in the capital of Denmark was over. Next we went to a Turkish restaurant to enjoy the delicious food and then we headed for our hostel. There we had a rest and stayed overnight.
We were very pleased with the day in Copenhagen, because we could enjoy the city together with the group and on our own. The day turned up to be even more interesting than we had thought it would be. We took a lot of pictures and we found out much new about Copenhagen. With that knowledge we expanded our horizons, which is the most important thing.
