Our Second Day in Copenhagen (The Amalienburg and The Little Mermaid)
On our second day in Copenhagen, Marc and I visited the Amalienburg Palace. We actually passed by the place many times as we walked to different landmarks in the city. I don't think we ever went in, it being the residence of the Royal Danish family. We did witness the changing of the guards and there was a gift shop inside which sold memorabilia about the Danish Royals and the palace.
This was a view of the Frederiks Kirke also known as the Marble Church from the palace square.

The most famous Danish landmark, the Little Mermaid
There were hundreds of tourists milling about the area where the tiny statue of the Little Mermaid was. People took turns taking pictures but it was a difficult task to do at the time.
Our picture of the Little Mermaid taken by a fellow tourist. Not the best shot but we what could we do?
This was taken farther away from the crowds.
The Danish War Resistance Museum in 2003. On our second visit to Denmark ten years later in the summer of 2013, this building burned down and out of commission.
