We arrived at Odense, Denmark in the early afternoon. Odense is H. C. Andersen's hometown. We went to his childhood house. It was raining a little but the house was only two blocks southeast of the train station. After seeing the "H. C. Andersen Hus," we walked toward the commercial area.
Dad took a picture of the city hall. (On the map it says Odense Radhus).
Odense Radhus again.
A statue of H.C. Andersen.
Dad and Mom with H.C.
This is probably a church. On the map it says Sct. Knuds Kirke (Domkirken).
Near the city hall, someone asked to have an ice cream. We didn't have Danish krone but the shop owner said it's OK to pay Euro. Someone did not do the math right. After the first lick, it was too late. A scoop of ice cream cost about US $9!!! Mom was mad.
We walked back to the station to take a train to Copenhagen. While waiting we tried to get something to eat. Karen found a McDonald. We were surprised to learn that a large fry cost US$ 5, and a hamburger cost US$ 8. We ended up eating sandwich similar to the Subway in the States.
