After some much needed sleep in a real bed, things didn't seem so dire in the morning. We dressed, received a key to the backdoor of the apartment and headed out to navigate the city.
Carrying around a little notebook, jammed with receipts for hotels we've yet to stay in, directions and print-outs of must-see sights, I had a little itinerary for the day. First stop: Carlsberg Brewery, a few blocks from the inn were we staying at.
The brewery had a mix of architecture, from the new skyscraper to the arch which dated from 1881.Copenhagen is a perfect city to use pictures to tell of our travels.
One of our first stops: Tivoli Amusement Park. It's located across the street from the train station, in the middle of the city. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and interesting to see. However, we made the mistake of eating hot dogs. Will we ever learn?
Copenhagen delighted us at every turn. We walked the entire length of the city, with the exception of one subway ride. According to my itinerary, we had to see Christiania. Christiania is the hippie haven, which has recently been under a lot of fire from the city, they wanted to close it. Right before entering in, I wanted to snap a photo of the entrance, and not realizing until afterward, that I snapped a photo of a man getting hit by a car! FYI: After a walk through the area, I can honestly say I can see where those officials are coming from.
After seeing Christiania and the fact it was getting extremely cold and dark, not to mention my feet were insanely throbbing, we started our trek back. Half way back to the inn, I could not do it anymore. At all.
There were tears.
There were fears.
There were new shoes. All was okay, again.
Plus a can of Carlsberg Christmas beer helped a little, too.
