3/ #EUsupergirl made it to #Copenhagen ✈🇩🇰🚂 And what a delightfully Welcoming city it is too! 😍🇪🇺 Amused by how their welcome signs are translated & nearly everyone speaks English... makes travelling easy for us Brits, I guess! 🤦🏼♀️ #TheFutureisEurope #EUsupergirlTour
4/ I was absolutely fascinated by these incredible architectural decking platforms that serve as leisure spaces on the river front in #Copenhagen #Denmark 🇩🇰🌁
It was crowded with young people out in the evening sunshine having a lovely time 🤩 #EUsupergirlTour

5/ Here's a guy jumping off the decking into the river (not sure this is strictly allowed?) 🤔
But can you imagine the Thames bring clean enough that people would want to swim in it?!! 😂🤣

6/ There is noticeably a lot of bikes: I haven't seen this many since my trip to #Amsterdam! 🚴♂️🚴♀️
A cyclist stopped (correctly assumed I was English) & said "You have a lovely look" 😊 ...It's nice to get a genuine compliment instead of street harassment for a change! #Denmark 🇩🇰

7/ Found a beautiful garden full of sculptures and flowers to chill in at #Sunset 😊🌺🌻🌷🌼⚘🌇 #Denmark 🇩🇰🇪🇺 #EUsupergirlTour #TheFutureisEurope
9/ Thanks to @sazmeister88 for helping me locate this electronics store in #Copenhagen which had reasonably priced travel adaptors...
There's a lesson to be learnt here: ALWAYS REMEMBER TO PACK YOUR POWER ADAPTER! (I have 6 now because I keep doing this) 🙄🔌🤦🏼♀️🇩🇰 #EUsupergirlTour

12/ Watercolour painting and some photos of the impressive architecture in #Copenhagen #Denmark 🇩🇰🏰🏤🏬 #EUsupergirlTour #TheFutureisEurope
13/ #Copenhagen has literally got the fanciest, cleanest, frequently available, well maintained public toilets I have ever seen... of anywhere, ever! 🚾🚹🚺♿ AND they're free! 😮 How come #Denmark is capable of hitting this incredibly high standard? 🤔 #EUsupergirlTour
14/ Found the @LEGO_Group Shop in #Copenhagen #Denmark 🤩🇩🇰😍 Kind of had to take a visit seeing as it is illustrated in my "Adventures in Europe" book - Denmark's greatest export! 🥇🏆👌🏻 #Lego #EUsupergirlTour #TheFutureisEurope @ECF_tweets
15/ They seem to be quite into their military in #Denmark ... I saw the young lads training as well as the old barracks. The Kastellet citadel has some fascinating landscaping - a 5 point star surrounded by moats - with amazing views all around 🇩🇰⭐ #EUsupergirlTour
16/ A little group of girls eating pizza came & sat around me as I was sketching. One of them said something to me in Danish - I said I didn't understand
"Well then, you draw very beautifully." She replied in English 🥰🇩🇰 Such friendly & clever kids! #Denmark #EUsupergirlTour

18/ Some nice architectural features in #Copenhagen #Denmark 📸🇩🇰🏢🧱🏬 #EUsupergirlTour #TheFutureisEurope

20/ Call me a dreamer... 🤩💭🌈💖🌎💫🌊🌁🚆🌃🌟 But dreams are beautiful and they can change the World... 🇪🇺 #TheFutureisEurope #EUsupergirlTour
21/ #EUsupergirl in #Denmark about to travel to #Sweden on the Oresund Bridge... An amazing infrastructure project achieved by co-operation between 2 EU countries has turned the Oresund region into the "European Power House" of the Baltic 🤩🇩🇰🌁🚆🇸🇪 #TheFutureisEurope🇪🇺
22/ On the train from #Copenhagen to #Sweden & the transmitters were hit by lightning ⛈🚆 We've been rerouted with a 3-4 hour additional delay. I only have 1 night in #Stockholm so this is a bit of an #EUsuperdisaster eating up the precious little time 🤦🏼♀️💔🇸🇪⏳ #EUsupergirlTour
23/ Painting on the 5 hr train journey (which has become 9 hrs) between #Copenhagen & #Stockholm 🙄🤦🏼♀️ At least the staff are being super nice & giving us free coffee & joking about having "plenty of time to talk on this short delay" (her sarcastic tone has everyone laughing) 😂
24/ So a journey that *should have* taken 5 hrs, has already taken 10 & there is another 1-2hrs to go... it's safe to say trains are not my friend today 🙄🚆🤦🏼♀️
I have sympathy with the babies in the carriage who are now all crying in unison 👶🏼😭
Definitely time for a cup of tea☕

25/ Arrived in #Stockholm 10:30pm last night (12hrs after leaving #Copenhagen) it was dark when I arrived but the station is super fancy! 🚂🌉🌳🌺🌼🌹🕰 I only had 18 hours in #Sweden because of the train disaster so tried to make the most of it! 🇸🇪🇪🇺 #EUsupergirlTour
26/ So nice to see so many #Rainbow flags flying in #Stockholm #Sweden 🏳️🌈 I saw more #Pride flags than national flags! 🇸🇪
My hotel also had Transgender flags & I saw a Trans friendly restaurant with Lobster bunting! 💗🦞 (There should be a Trans flag emoji! 🤔) #EUsupergirlTour

27/ It was a rainy day in #Stockholm #Sweden 🏳️🌈☔🇸🇪⛈ I had to buy an #umbrella because I left mine at home... Weather not exactly conducive to sketching & I stupidly put my book down on a wet bench so that's trashed some page edges 😭💦📔 #EUsupergirlTour
28/ Apparently "EU-BIKE" is a thing in #Sweden 🤩🇸🇪💙🚲🇪🇺😍🇸🇪💙🚲🤩🇸🇪💙🚲🇪🇺🤩🇸🇪💙🚲🇪🇺 #EUsupergirlTour #TheFutureisEurope
29/ Can anyone explain what is TinTin doing in Gamla Stan? 🤔🇸🇪

35/ My best photos from the delight that is Gamla Stan... the *must visit* location on an trip to Stockholm 🇸🇪 Sweden 🇪🇺 #EUsupergirlTour
37/ Oddly I didn't see a single EU flag whilst I was in #Copenhagen #Denmark... But when I got to #Stockholm #Sweden I saw one proudly flying alongside the Danish flag outside Denmark House... 🤔🇩🇰🇪🇺🤷🏼♀️🇸🇪 What's that about? #EUsupergirlTour
38/ Getting across #Stockholm to the ferry terminal was not the easiest of tasks: Would have helped if the Tourist Info guys hadn't told me to get off at the wrong tube stop 🤦🏼♀️ Always better trust Google Maps...
Next stop on the #EUsupergirlTour... #Helsinki #Finland! 🇫🇮🚢🇪🇺

40/ It's not often you get to say "I slept with Moomin last night" 🤔🇸🇪🚢🇫🇮😂 The Ferry from Sweden to Finland had a bit of a theme on board... And they were merching the hell out of it in the Duty Free shop 😘🇪🇺 #EUsupergirlTour

49/ Good morning from a beautiful and sunny #Finland 🇫🇮🐝🌸🇪🇺 Glad to see they have bees here... 🧐 They're a lot easier to photograph when they are feeding on a flower... #EUsupergirlTour
50/ Saturday morning car boot sale... Finnish style! In a park full of gravestones... Why not?! 😅🇫🇮🤷🏼♀️ #Finlsnd #EUsupergirlTour
51/ Watercolour painting... There was some amazing architecture in Helsinki - stylish masonry and use of material. But I do love red brick buildings. 😍🏭🧱 #EUsupergirlTour #Finland 🇫🇮🇪🇺 #TheFutureisEurope
52/ I like the Finnish approach to the seaside... Stark, solitary... And no sand!!! 😅🇫🇮🌊🏙 #EUsupergirlTour
53/ Watercolour of the roof of a hall in Helsinki where s bit market was being held today. I loved the little blue vintage car outside with a row of teddy bears in the back window (almost as good as the row of hats on the back of #EUsuperDad's car!) 🤣🐻🐻🐻🚗🚙🚘👒🎩🧢🎓⛑
