On Monday, we woke up at 2 pm, so there was very little time to see anything since most places close at 5 pm! Our plan was to go on the canal tour and visit the Round tower, but since we only had 3 hours to explore, we had to prioritize.
We are trying to not over-spend during this trip, so we needed to go to the grocery store to figure out what to cook for some of our meals. Jenning also wanted to send some postcards, so we thought we should go to the store and post office first, since they were going to close at 5. We spent about an hour running errands and then decided to go to the canal tour. When we got to the canal, we found out that we just missed the last tour of the day, so that plan didn't work out.
We decided to check out the Round tower, a building that is attached to a church, and which was used as an observatory by the university many years ago. We had to go up spiral ramps until we got to the very top, where we got to see a lot of the city. The tower also had a couple of little museums displaying art work from Nordic artists and one with artifacts such as compasses, telescopes etc. For most of the time, it seemed like we were the only people in the tower, but after we reached the top, a few group of kids showed up, it seemed to be a popular hang out spot for them! We decided to leave once more kids started showing up.
