Our hotel is right on the central canal, along Nyhavn. It’s the area sailors used to come to...well, you know. Since then it’s become quite the cool place to be, with great cafes, stores, people watching, and beautiful boats.
We took a walk down the mail pedestrian street that has tons of stores, from the fladship Lego store to 2 H&M (both are Danish) to Gucci and anything else you can imagine. The stork fountain is where mid-wives take a dip once their training is finished!
We were getting close to the end of the mall when we ran into Hans Christian Anderson! He invited us into a nearby restaurant and regailed us with stories of his growing up bere, told us some of his inspirations behind some of his stories, and recited some of his poetry. We were all, each one of us, completely charmed!
We certainly have been eating well! Today I had salmon for lunch AND dinner! I think there has only been one meal without potatoes!
The weather on the way down from Kalmar got downright hot...must have been in the low 80s. Then, as we approached Copenhagen, the clouds rolled in, a breeze has picked up, and it’s downright chilly! That minor inconvenience hasn’t stopped us from a little gelato, though!
In one of the squares, our guide suggested to take a restroom stop. Usually we just hear ‘go when you can, not when you have to’, this was unusual. Sure enough, the restrooms (free, yippie!) are elegant and very clean!
It’s about 10:00pm, and the sun has just set. Many restaurants keep their sidewalk cafe diners comfortable with these gas fires between tables. It’s very effective! Many have blankets set out, too.
Many of you know I have my home designed with Dutch Modern furniture. This is my mecca! Oh, to be here a few more days and see what’s going on these days in design! You’ll also notice the Huawei sign. Maybe that’s why there’s so much 5G!
