CPH Memories

So yes, the one reason and one reason only I was in Copenhagen was the blog CopenhagenCycleChic. And yes, it was worth it. Turned out to be quite an expensive trip and a bit unnerving since no American credit cards work over there, but some of these should turn out to be funny stories in a year or so, no? Here's my memories in list format since I'm a bit lazy, being on vacation and all:


Nørrebro Brewhouse

Funny mustachioed bartender, drinking with Danish designer, leaving all the glasses on the table, riding on the back of the bicycle, then loosing the bicycle : (


Free tour with an Irish Guy

seeing the oldest street, being the only American on the tour, the rich Aussie girls in min-skirts and berets, 'What am I going to show you next? . . . Oh yes!", Nyhavn ships getting stuck, Amelie palace and the guard stories, stories of the Danish resistance to the Nazis, the opera house support of Chistiana


Little Mermaid

Getting locked in the bathroom


Christiana

A nice dreaded guy on a bike showing me the way to the gate, walking alone on the ramparts, stampeding horses, petting dogs


Vor Frelsers Kirke golden tower staris


Nørrebro

Bike shopping. . . to replace the one I lost


80% of children being in snowsuits, even though there was no snow


Peacefulness fo Kongens Have and Botanisk Have and the rows of trees


Assistends Kirkegard

H.C. Andersens and Kirkegard's graves, a forest-like atmosphere with plants growing across graves, people going for walks, biking to work, pushing strollers around the graves


Being part of bike rush hour : )


Bikeing Slotsholmen at night

the tower of Børsen


København Museet free!

Getting to my bus two hours to early and then heading here, the exhibit on trash


The 16 hour bus ride there and home . . . and the ferry!
