July 24th started off cloudy and we had some plans to walk around town.
We walked down one of the shopping streets.
Alternative models... but why do they need belts on their underwear??
I bet their menu is a hoot.
That's the royal library called The Black Diamond.
We were walking to Christianshavn.
Specifically to Vor Frelsels Kirke.
Up until the octagonal bit there we climbed inside.
Great views from there.
Have you watched the Danish/Swedish series The Bridge?
There it is.
Oh, and if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
The rest of the way up was outside the tower.
Spiraling, getting narrower on every step. On the last step you can barely get your feet side by side.
I'm not too good with heights in open air. Let's just say that I was hugging that copper wall.
And very happy to get back to street level.
Ice cream shop sign!
Nice and big, you can't make a mistake.
Next stop the free city of Christiania.
A place of amazing street art, a lot of illegal business and that very distinctive smell in the air.
It is worth strolling through here.
Back from the land of Puff the Magic Dragon, taking in the local flora.
Nyhavn.
Filled with restaurants, bars and loads of tourists.
So beautiful.
Do visit the Vaffelbageren.
They make their own waffle cones in the shop, the smell is divine.
And the ice cream is not bad either.
We stopped for a little lunch time silliness.
Yes. 1681.
Cool department store escalators.
Saara went out with some friends she made while we were in Legoland the day before.
We hung out at the lobby for a bit, board games, apples...
...and some famous Danish Eggs.
We ate at Guru, Indian food.
Next door to the hotel.
We still had plans for the evening.
The bikes should have tipped us off that over 30 000 Copenhageners had the same plan...
Tivoli.
Niina and I went to look around.
Saara and Mika wanted to see the main event.
On summer Fridays you get a concert with the entrance ticket.
They were all there to see Snoop Dogg.
Nope.
No way. No how.
I loved the lights.
We found Rasmus and Pingo :)
He finally took the stage.
We listened to two songs and headed back to the hotel. We could still hear the beat there.
The two others came back an hour later.
Amusement parks really are best after dark.
