Luckily we had somewhere to be, so Ange wasn't able to spend the entire day in the shops. Copenhagen has its own changing of the guards everyday at noon outside the Amalienborg Palace, the Queen's winter residence. At the completion of its restoration it will also be home to Denmark's Crown Prince and his Australian "commoner" wife, Mary.
After the guards had changed and the band had stopped, we walked over to Rosenborg Castle, built as a country summerhouse in 1606. The castle is surrounded by a duck-filled moat, and exhibits the Crown Jewels in its basement. Its quite small as far as castles go, so we were able to walk through the entire building.
After a quick sausage and some Danish pastry for lunch, we walked up the Round Tower. It is a 17th century tower, the oldest functioning observatory in Europe, and unique in that it has no stairs, but instead a sloping walkway up to the top.
Still not finished we just made the last canal tour of the day. Luckily the canal boats were covered and heated!
After an expensive dinner and even more expensive drinks (Denmark is not cheap!) on Saturday night with an old work friend of Warren's, we jumped on a train Sunday morning to go North for 40 minutes up to Fredericksborg Palace. Situated on the edge of a small lake, the glassy (and partially frozen over) lake made for some spectacular photos. The Palace itself dates back to 1560 and is not electrified, meaning that it is quite gloomy and spooky inside. 
We had a couple of hours to spare on Sunday afternoon so jumped on another train over to Sweden! The Swedish town of Malmo is only 35 minutes from Copenhagen, across the Oresund bridge. The bridge was only opened in 2000 and it actually half bridge and half tunnel, with a manmade island in the middle of the straight to link the tunnel section and the bridge section. It is the longest border crossing bridge in the world. Malmo is Sweden's third largest city but we only really had time for a quick walk through the centre of town and through a nice park nearby.
Back to Copenhagen to pick up our bags, grab a quick dinner, and get out to the airport for our 9pm flight back to London.
