Day 4 - December 20th - Post and Tele Museum

     We all wake up at around 8:30 AM and walk down to the lobby to have our breakfast. After all eating, we go back up to our room and get ready for another exciting day in Denmark! Today we are going to the Post and Tele Museum. This historical museum has five rooms and in each of the five rooms holds a variety of mid 18th century postal artifacts and provides interesting information about the history of communication.

History Event:
     We leave the hotel together at around 10:45 and have a ten minute walk to the museum at Købmagergade 37, 1150 København K, Denmark. When we get to the museum, we pay for a group pass to the one hour guided tour, which is $84.32. Each of us contribute $17.00. During the guided tour we see rooms like The King's Post Office and The Age of Invention to see things like items from the first public postal service and some of the first stamps ever used in Denmark. In The Century of Communication room we get to see the first telegraph made in Denmark. In the stamp exhibition we see all different kinds of stamps used back in the 18th century.
     After going through the museum, we go and eat at the cafe, Café Hovedtelegrafen, at the top on the building at around 12:15. This cafe is described as lunch with a view because it overlooks the Copenhagen city. Each meal costs about $20. We eat for about 45 minutes and then start walking back to the hotel.
Natural Environment Event:
     We get to the hotel and relax there for about 30 minutes before we get ready to go to our next activity for the day, the Copenhagen Zoo! We walk to the end of the block and get on the M2 to take a twenty minute train ride to the zoo. Once we get there at around 2:00, we each pay $27 for each of our tickets. This zoo has many different animals for us to look at. For example, they have reptiles, fish, amphibians, mollusks, mammals, birds, and arthropods. Our favorite animal is the Red-necked Wallaby. It looks like a kangaroo with no neck. We get to see it jump and waddle around it's exhibit.
     After looking at all the animals, we go to the cafe in the zoo for dinner at around 5:00. We eat at one of the fast food concession stands for an hour and then decide to get back on the M2 to go back to the hotel. It was a great day in Denmark.
