Copenhagen day 3

Image
My last day in Copenhagen was just an enjoyable as the others. I have no idea where I was in the morning, but there was a copy of Michelangelo's David and big fancy boats. There was also a fabulous dome that wasn't open for some reason so I didn't get to explore that. I continued about my day by going and visiting the  Thorvaldsens Museum. Dude was damn good at sculpting. After that I went and just chilled along a canal and read Catch-22 some more. A wonderful end to a wonderful city. Tomorrow I am off to Berlin.  Look familiar?  How about now? The Jesus and apostles  are both in the museum and this church.

It goes past the cave called Zeus Cave. Why so much Zeus on this mountain? Well it is where Zeus was born and raised of course. Anyways, it started so easy. There was a paved path and everything.

You're just climbing over rocks, some stable, some loose. And the only thing to balance yourself with is more rocks or incredibly spikey bushes of sorts. Very roundly shaped though. Kinda cool. And the only things marking your path are the occasional red dot or Cai

Ferry leaving Athens hella early Water so blue I've made it to Paros! Just chilled here all day. It was free with a 3 euro spending on a consumption of anything. Swam a bit too. Was so nice.  Sunset at some awesome restaurant. Gotta ask the receptionist for suggestions. Had that awesome special in Athens and then came here and guy got me a free drink with my dinner.  ATV day starts here Went to a Butterfly Valley. Missed high season for them, generally July-September. Can you find the butterfly in this picture? So lush and green. Most of the island and all the islands is desert.  Remanants of an old watermill. It was horizontal not vertical.  A butterfly. Did you find the first one? If not, can you now that you know what they look like?  Remember how I mentioned I walked around a national park thing?  Lighthouse has
