Spent a day exploring in Copenhagen, Denmark. What a treat. Loved the architecture.
It was amazing how many people use bicycles as transportation. Come to think of it-no one looked overly fat here! ...hmmm...
Looks like a covered Big Wheel!
The city had an open air concept, many cafes and beer gardens and it sure was a
beautiful day for them!
I couldn't believe that this bakery had a line and a number system to get in and make purchases!
This could be a few of the reasons...
This place was also an open area just off the sidewalk... YUM!
Copenhagen was busy....MANY shoppers, MANY walkers, MANY bikers, MANY explorers.... My sister-n-law (SIL), and I were two of them. We knew that her parents (my in-laws) and 6 of our other friends were also somewhere in Copenhagen enjoying the sights. When this sight seeing bus rode by, I said to my SIL, I'll bet your Mom is on that bus! My SIL looked, paused, and said, SHE IS! Of course I felt the immediate need to chase down the bus...which I did...and was able to knock on the window and wave to our family! Can you say needle in a haystack?
One of the things I loved about many of the places we visited in Europe, was the flower markets. Beautiful, seasonal flowers were on sale everywhere.
You could buy anything from a stem to a bouquet. Gorgeous!
We asked a local for a recommendation on eats and ended up here at Cock's (cocktails) and Cows.
We ordered and shared the Illegal and the Marco Polo.
Excellent choice, locals!
Canals and waterway transportation.
Have you seen enough bikes yet?
Post Office.
I don't know yet what these trees are or if they look like that year round.
We saw some of them in Sweden too.
This was the Central Station for trains.
Looks like people ride their bikes here and then catch a train to work. A woman that we spoke to on the train confirmed with us that Americans work a 5-day work week. She let us know (thanks lady) that Denmark's norm was so work 3 days a week and use the other for their mental health.
Nice...
