This morning we all went to a coffee shop called Andersen & Maillard, which is known for their filled cube croissants. Today they were filled with either pistachio cream or coconut cream, so of course we had to try both. The fillings for both were really good. The pistachio cream was extremely silky and smooth and the coconut cream had a really good punch of coconut flavor, Yeh-Yeh would have loved it! LB opted for a canelé and a spandauer, which is a danish filled with a marzipan cream. After we finished eating we headed back to the hotel.

After reorganizing a little bit, Christal, Ojiichan, the kids and I went out to visit the Little Mermaid statue, or Lille Havfrue, and take some pictures of it.

From there we walked to Nyhavn to take some daytime shots of the colorful buildings. Then we walked along the Stroget back to the hotel, but not before Christal got some new shoes, since her old ones were falling apart, and LB went into the Lego store with Ojiichan. We ended up buying LB the Ninjago set that he wanted most and it turned out to be a few dollars cheaper than on Amazon.

When we were done shopping we dropped our stuff off at the hotel and then met up with Hirojichan and Kyoko-san and went across the street to Tivoli Gardens. After we got into Tivoli Gardens we headed over to Gasoline Grill and had burgers, a chicken sandwich and elderflower lemonades for lunch. From there we walked around the park, rode on the ferris wheel, and went to the aquarium to watch them feed the fish. The aquarium was pretty good for being in an amusement park. They had a small shark that looked like a reef shark, a few leopard sharks, a couple rays, a small Napoleon wrasse and lots of other colorful tropical fish. LB and Ojiichan were getting sleepy by this point so we found a bench for them to sit at and take a nap while the rest of us walked around the rest of the park.

The best way I can think to describe Tivoli Gardens is a mix between a botanical garden, a city park and a small-scale Disneyland, which makes sense because Walt Disney was inspired by Tivoli when he built Disneyland.

When we finished walking around the park we went back and got LB and Ojiichan and headed back to the hotel to let both of them sleep some more while Christal and I got ready for Noma.

Christal and I took the bus to Noma, which was a few stops past Barr. When we arrived they had a couple of greeters at the beginning of the garden to check us in. Before they let us walk down the path through the garden and into the restaurant they had us wait until the couple in front of us had cleared through and then let us experience the entrance on our own.

When we walked in the front door there were about 8-10 people there to greet us and they took our coats and showed us to our table. The meal itself was the best dining experience we have had, and it wasn’t even close! The food was mind blowing.

When we had finished they gave us a couple of small bottles of the Noma Projects dashi reduction and menus of the night to take home and then gave us a tour of the rest of the restaurant and grounds.

As we were leaving they made sure we didn’t need a taxi to be called and made sure we knew how to get back to our bus stop. Unfortunately, the bus we were trying to catch didn’t seem to be running that far out of the city, because there were some people at our stop that had been waiting for 40 minutes for the bus, so just like last night, we decided to walk to another bus stop closer to town where we could catch a few different lines in to our hotel.

When we arrived back we relieved Ojiichan so that he could go back to his room and found LB showered and watching the Ipad. We got ready for bed and went to sleep.
