The first day off we had a slow morning and then rode out to Risø to have lunch with David. The kids were excited to eat out for the first time, even if it was just the canteen. The highlight was having free hot chocolate from the coffee machine, one of many all over campus. Less exciting was our Danish class afterward.
The ride to and from work is along a big road, but of course there is a fantastic bike lane and there are great views of the fjord and the experiments being conducted by the wind sector.
The second day we went into Copenhagen to check out the Experimentarium. What a super place! Everything had English information, everything was hands-on, and there was never a line for anything. By the time the field trips had left it felt like we were sharing the museum with just a handful of other people. It was a little pricey, even with Robin's new international student id card, but we had a great visit.

I was pleased that we didn't get lost, but it is pretty easy to get around. At the bus station there are not only schedules and a list of stops, but there is also a real-time listing of which bus is approaching next and when it will be there. Inside the bus a display lists the bus route, the destination, and the next stop. I don't know where we'll go, but now I have the confidence to try another adventure.
sometimes I try to look at transit in say San Francisco imagining it from the point of view of someone who does not speak english, and it is not very user friendly. The bus displaying the next stop is really helpful and the bus route. Experimentarium looks fantastic, so glad you went!
