Ferris Wheel in Copenhagen
Wednesday, 19. August 2009, 08:28:29
Copenhagen's most recognisable symbol has long been the Little Mermaid. But the diminutive sculpture on Copenhagen's waterfront might need to begin sharing the stage with a new attraction, namely a 50 metres high ferris wheel placed in central Copenhagen.
I was taking a walk the other day - and as I headed home I passed the Ferris wheel.
As I approached it I was thinking to myself that it would be cool to take a tour in it. I decided that if there wasn't much of a queue I would give it a shot.
I was lucky. There wasn't any queue at all, so I bought a ticket and waited for the wheel to stop so I could get on board. I wasn't prepared to go there camera-wise - I only had my small camera with me - but hey - take a look - it does at least give you an impression of the view over my beloved city.
It was a clear, beautiful day - so it was even possible to see all the way to Sweden. (*sends Rose a friendly thought*)
It's always fun to see things from a different perspective once in a while.
All in all it was a great experience. It was a bit expensive though, 75 DKK (about 10 Eur) for a tour that lasted about 15 minutes - 3 rounds in the wheel. But hey - I'd gladly do it again.
The wheel is there until October. But the company who built it says that they consider to build a ferris wheel permanently.
