Copenhagen Day 1, part 1

Today we got up and wandered around Copenhagen all day! To start we headed towards this food cart area that Raymond had been to when he was here with work and it was really nice, but very far from everything! We walked through town and while we were I kept seeing a lot of people on their phones, like very on their phones and I was like what is going on?? Then we passed a park and I saw a bunch of people with Pokemon shirts and stuff and remembered that we could have bought a city ticket to place today, Saturday and Sunday if we had wanted (in addition to the park ticket we have for tomorrow). Now I love Pokémons, but the ones you can catch for this event don’t looks great to me, plus 4 full days of playing is A LOT. Normally I do the global one they have every year and that is two days, but that has also been better Pokémons. We shall see how tomorrow goes, but 4 days would have been way too much for me!

After walking through town and getting to this area south of downtown that is a ton of little islands and fancy shops we we walked through some lakes/nature area and finally arrived at the food carts for lunch. It was right on the water and you could see across to downtown which was nice and there were tons of options! We started with a tofu bun bao, gyoza, and sesame balls which were all amazing! We were still a bit hungry so we got some pad Thai which was pretty good, but still not the right flavor. It started raining once we got out food, but luckily they had a few areas with a small covering that we could sit under and stay dry.

After taking a long break there waiting for the rain to stop we got a taxi back towards town. It was a 5 minute drive, but would have taken about 40 to walk so it was definitely worth it! By the time we got to where we were going (the bridge across the water to downtown) it was sunny and gorgeous! We wandered around that water area near downtown seeing what we could see, got a rhubarb lemonade which was sweeter than expected (it was like jam), then headed to this vegan restaurant that had key lime pie. I’ve never had that before so I wanted to try it as I love lime, but then we saw it was coconut based and well I don’t like coconut…but they did have another treat that sounded interesting - flødeboller. It was like marshmallow on a marzipan cookie base and covered in chocolate and was absolutely delicious! We got a plain one and a strawberry rhubarb one and they were both super tasty. We thought we will have to go back tomorrow, but then later in the day we found a stand at a market that was all vegan flødeboller and we think they might get them from there as the decor on them was the same, but either way we will get some more tomorrow to snack on!Read more
