Copenhagen (1st July 2010)

In the morning after a good night's sleep, me and Marjaana had a wonderful breakfast outside. We were barefoot. The sun was shining and it was really warm. Compared to Tórshavn it was like another planet (no clouds, no rain, no fog) and it felt really strange at first. Luckily I could adjust quickly!:)


Marjaana lent me her bike and we took the traditional Danish way into the heart of the city: we took the bike route, and this one was the scenic route via the Amager beach. It was so nice! Here are a few pictures.

Marjaana had to go to work so I had Copenhagen all to myself! And riding a bike in Copenhagen is definitely the way to experience this lovely Nordic metropol by the sea. Note that the Danish are very, how should I say, strict about the rules of riding a bike: signal clearly where you're going and, most preferably, ride your bike fast and with a fierce attitude. I went to the Royal Library and Vores Frelsers Kirke (Our Savior's Church), which is also a high point above CPH. 


I had a lovely lunch at the Library, I recommend the restaurant there. The food was tasty at a good price aka not too expensive. The library also has a very nice gift shop and the Danish Museum of Photography is also located in the same building. I went and saw the exhibition and it consisted of very brutal stories of violence against refugee women in Denmark. The women were more or less under the control of their sadistic husbands or boyfriends.

Oh yes. Those are my shoes. Awfully high above ground zero!

Biking around I got lost a few times, but that didn't matter because I had some free time alone before Marjaana got off work. And on my adventures I met a stork!

Ice-cream in Nyhavn, central CPH.

After a few hours of solo adventure, I met Marjaana in Nyhavn for some ice-cream. Then we went home and bought food and wine and had a lovely time. After a long day of adventures in the fresh sea air, I didn't have to wait long for sleep to come find me!
