Today, we went to the "Traffic Playground" at Fælledparken, which is the largest park in Copenhagen. The park is located next to the National Stadium, and it's a large park with a wide open space perfect for picnic. At the traffic playground, there was a miniature road course with lanes, traffic lights, signs, gas station and even a bike lane. And there were many karts which you pedal to move (like a tricycle).
Several weeks ago when we went to the mall, Mio had the opportunity to ride one of those go-karts where you step on the accelerate button to start the car. Well, Mio got on by herself, and when the car started moving, she immediately started screaming because the speed totally scared her, and because she was screaming and not steering, the car kept moving and she crashed into the wall and she screamed even harder. It was a terrifying experience for her... But today, she was in control. The cars were meant to be for kids aged over 5, so it was a little bit hard for her and I had to push her most of the time, but she had a good time trying something new.
After the park, we met up with Jonathan for our almost "daily" ice cream. We were back in the city center, and we decided to go into Illum Bolighus. According to my travel guide, this might well be the store to go "if you only have time for one store in Copenhagen". The book was right. They had top-notch contemporary interior design, beautiful house ware items, furniture, clothes, jewelry, etc... There were too many things I wanted to get. I LOVE this rug pictured below (click the photo to enlarge). It is a rug with these small colorful felted balls strung together. I've seen these at Louisiana Museum and a few other places. It's a "happy" rug that makes you smile... :)
