  • Copenhagen, Denmark
    Jennifer E. Wilson [email protected] www.cruisewithjenny.com 855-583-5240 | 321-837-3429 COPENHAGEN, DENMARK OVERVIEW Introduction Copenhagen, Denmark, is a city with historical charm and a contemporary style that feels effortless. It is an old merchants' town overlooking the entrance to the Baltic Sea with so many architectural treasures that it's known as the "City of Beautiful Spires." This socially progressive and tolerant metropolis manages to run efficiently yet feel relaxed. And given the Danes' highly tuned environmental awareness, Copenhagen can be enjoyed on foot or on a bicycle. Sights—Amalienborg Palace and its lovely square; Tivoli Gardens; the Little Mermaid statue; panoramic views from Rundetaarn (Round Tower); Nyhavn and its nautical atmosphere; Christiansborg Palace and the medieval ruins in the cellars. Museums—The sculptures and impressionist works at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek; the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and its outdoor sculpture park; paintings from the Danish Golden Age at the Hirschsprung Collection; Viking and ancient Danish artifacts at the Nationalmuseet; neoclassical sculpture at Thorvaldsens Museum. Memorable Meals—Traditional herring at Krogs Fiskerestaurant; top-notch fine dining at Geranium; Nordic-Italian fusion at Relae; traditional Danish open-face sandwiches at Schonnemanns; the best of the city's street food, all in one place, at Reffen Copenhagen Street Food. Late Night—The delightful after-dark atmosphere at Tivoli Gardens; indie rock at Loppen in Christiana; a concert at Vega. Walks—Taking in the small island of Christianshavn; walking through Dyrehaven to see herds of deer; walking from Nyhavn to Amalienborg Palace; strolling along Stroget, where the stores show off the best in Danish design.

  • Overseas Adventure Travel®
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Fjord Cruise & Lapland: Norway, Finland & the Arctic 2022 Small Groups: 20-25 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 22) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, For me, one of the joys of traveling is the careful planning that goes into an adventure—from the first spark of inspiration to hours spent poring over travel books about my dream destinations—and I can’t wait to see where my next journey will take me. I know you’re eager to explore the world, too, and our Fjord Cruise & Lapland itinerary described inside is an excellent way to start. As for Fjord Cruise & Lapland, thanks to your small group of 20-25 travelers (average 22) you can expect some unforgettable experiences. Here are a few that stood out for me: Gain insights into Sami and northern Lapland culture in Ivalo where a local guide will offer their perspective on the oppression of Europe’s last indigenous community during a visit to the Siida Museum. You’ll learn about the forced relocation of the Sami people in the 1800s and the challenges that face the community as they fight to preserve their time-honored customs. But the most moving stories of all are the ones you’ll hear directly from the local people. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences when you visit the owners of a reindeer farm and learn about the important role they play in the Sami peoples’ daily lives.

  • Respectability in an Era of Religious Revival: the Golden Age
    Respectability in an era of Religious Revival: The Golden Age The battle for Copenhagen in 1801 and again in 1807, and the Napoleonic wars in Europe to 1815 barely registered in the life of this branch of the family. Antonius Thomasellis Preisler was born in Copenhagen at Den kgl. Fodselsstiftelsen for unwed mothers on Jan 28 1791. He was adopted as a baby by Niels Hansen and his wife Kirstine Jensdatter and grew up in the small place of Højby. Niels was a husmand med Jord og graver, a small holder who didn’t have a farm. To supplement a small income he was also graver employed to perform various administrative tasks about the church and graveyard including the maintenance and planting. Photograph from Jens Stolt on panoramio.com Rorup Kirk and Kirkeyard In 1801 Antonius is said to be ‘Fra opfostringen, Kustfond’ for bringing up and rearing with funds from the ‘kust’ which could be ‘kunst’ an art fund. Possibly as his father and mother had been performers or possibly due to his grandfather being an artist. There were funds for his support and also so he could be apprenticed to a trade to be hjulmager wheel maker, and find his way in life with a respectable trade. Gård i Højby was shared by Olav Sejeroe on panoramio.com. The most remarkable thing in the whole area is Bronze age mound Kongehøjen used for observations . 1 From Højby to the Rorup Kirke, this was far from a bustling city area (Google Maps) Possibly as a wheelmaker, Antonius had need of the local blacksmith to make rims.
