Waterside walk - The Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue)

Waterside walk - The Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue) 
Rating: 4 out of 5
 
In Nyhavn, there is a really pleasant waterside walk leading to Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid statue.
The Little Mermaid herself was very over-crowded and very difficult to appreciate (having hot dog sellers and beverage stalls crowded next to each other didn't help!). If you go for the walk, I don't recommend the boat ride as the boat gets very crowded and pretty much covers everything on your walk plus the walk is a far more pleasant experience - you even encounter a replica of Michelangelo's David!

Oppa Korean BBQ restaurant

Rating 3.5 out of 5

Went for dinner
Food is ok but didn't actually try the bbq. Dumplings were very crispy fried so not great. Chicken tasted a bit old to me. The hot pot was very nice though 
Service was good and good atmosphere 
Not sure I would go back

Winter Wonderland, London


Really nice place but I wish there were more things to do for babies over 6 months. Maybe a Merry go round? Great place, good ambience and atmosphere.
 However the rides are extremely and unnecessarily expensive.  Also it could be organised better to disperse the crowd 
Not sure if I would visit again for the rides but would do for the mini pancakes with Nutella!!!!
