Copenhagen day

Today was the second and luckily the last day in Copenhagen. Don't get me wrong, this is a city with great architecture. What kills the joy of seeing the city though is the high price level for a Finnish tourist. One feels like the whole city is one big money vacuum. Admission to Tivoli Gardens amusement park area alone was around 14 euros, which by any standard is really high. This would have been okay if Tivoli would have been a spectacular place, but it ranks about the same with any Nordic amusement parks. Maybe more of restaurants, less rides than any rival park I've been to.
Eating at the Hard Rock Cafe was not as expensive as I had feared though. But the experience wasn't very good, first a 20 minute wait for a table (even though the place didn't look that occupied) and the food took forever to come to the table. Food tasted good though.
Then we went to see the Little Mermaid statue. I was very dissapointed with the statue, not much to look at. I had much grander mental image about the statue. I don't know how many other tourists feel the same let down as I did.

Tomorrow we'll be leaving Denmark for Germany. Originally we were meant to take a ferry over but it seems it's crazy expensive for such a short ferry ride that we opted to do the driving via the bridges and Danish continent. Should make for an interesting scenery hopefully.
