Denmark Day 10

Day 10: We scratched Helsignor for today, postponed til tomorrow because it is only open until 3:30 during the winter and we had a late start. Instead, we took the subway, which was very very clean, to a neighboring city and toured the zoo. It was a good zoo, odd, but good. The animals all posed for pictures, which was neat, but a little odd... but the weirdest part about the whole zoo were the recipes next to the pens. For real, there was a picture and directions for how to make a reindeer pie pinned to the reindeer fence. Zoo sponsored and everything, we saw about 5 or 6 of these recipes to various animals. Llamas is the only other one I can remember off the top of my head. Another odd part of the zoo was the children's petting zoo. Apart from Emily and I getting attacked by an Icelandic Pony, we saw a box with pictures of animals. When you lifted up a part of the animal, it had what you could make out of them! Lift up the head of a duck and there was a pillow. There was a roast duck picture underneath the body of the duck, a steak under the cow, and so on...Truly a bizare zoo. Weirdest one I've ever been in. On the way home we stopped at a mall. I only mention this because it added to the oddness of the outing. The escalators were not stairs, just a moving slope downwards or upwards. Very odd. Tomorrow we are finally going to Helsignor
