Castle Fatigue

Visited an insane number of castles, museums and cathedrals over the long Easter weekend. Definitely suffering from castles fatigue now. The Europeans, in general, curate their exhibits very well, and encourage people (including children) to view and appreciate the works. Visitors are usually well-behaved (read: no children wildly running around).

I saw the changing of guards outside Amalienborg, then entered the castle (one of the best ones!). I went across the road to the Marble Church, paid and climbed up the dome to get a bird's eye view of the city. Then on to the Rosenborg, Christian borg and National Museum.

Went for a run. There was a 5-section lake near my hotel. It was quite short. About 15min from one end to the other. I did 7-8 rounds of the last and largest lake section. Then headed back. Total time almost 2hr. Not the most scenic or inspiring route for long runs.
