Forget the Mermaid: this city has better things to offer

---

After much discussion amongst the exchange students in Lithuania, it came down to Priscila and I going to Scandinavia for the Valentines Day Weekend. We both wanted to go to Copenhagen, and since we were going to be flying into Southern Sweden anyway, we decided to shoot up to Stockholm for the end of the trip. After taking the ‘flybus’ from Malmo, we wondered over to the Hotel Jorgensen, one metro stop north of the main station at Norreport. Great place, about $20 with a full breakfast buffet incl. Unfortunately, all my pics save for 8 loaded onto a photo sight were lost.

While in Copenhagen, we were able to take in quite a bit of the city sights, art galleries, royal palace, WWII resistance museum, first castle, and of course, the little mermaid. We saw her because she was close to the resistance museum. She has to be one of the most pointless sights in all of Europe: anti-climatic spot and a color that blends right into the sea. Honestly, had I not walked there and taken a tour bus instead, I would have stayed in the bus. The city has so much to offer, not sure why the mermaid is so prominent.
