Go Fest Copenhagen

Phew!! What a day! Yesterday I was not that excited for today…not like I normally am. Like I knew it would be fun, but I thought we might not actually play Pokémon all day. I can be crazy with this game for these events and basically walk for 8 hours straight, but the listed Pokémons for the event were not very good. Mostly things I have a billion of so I was like well…if that is all they have then maybe we will just explore the city more instead…only there were lots more and ones I really wanted and it was amazing!! Plus I got almost all of the ones I really wanted!! Amazing!

The way it worked was we had a ticket for 4 hours of playing time in Fælledparken that was set up especially for Pokémon. Lots of things to see and do (which I mostly forgot to take photos of) and it was so nice! It was close to where we are staying and not too big, but big enough. It was split into zones where different Pokémon were so it was small enough that you could easily go between zones without having to walk forever which was nice (last one of these events we went to was in Dortmund Germany and that park is huge!). There were also powerbanks to charge your phone so we took breaks occasionally to do that which was nice. We had the morning pass which was 9-1 and then we sat and ate lunch and charged our phones some.

Afterwards you had city game play which was just everywhere on Copenhagen until 6pm. The city was also split into zones and there were things you had to do in each zone so we wandered the city catching Pokémon. We started our city game play with a stop to get some ice cream - melon for me and pistachio for Raymond. Delicious! We then wandered through town to the patisserie that was out of vegan cake yesterday and had a break to try that and they were both amazing! The little one was hazelnut praline, pineapple and passion fruit jelly and praline mousse on cocoa shortcrust pastry. The layer cake was light base with lemon, blue birch and vanilla, blackcurrant jelly, burnt almonds and a lemon mousse with white vegan chocolate. The layer cake was almost like a cheesecake which I am not the biggest fan of, but not and was actually my favorite of the two, but they were both so good. I love getting fancy vegan cakes!!

We then wandered over to the cake place from yesterday and got another raspberry yuzu pistachio cake which is so good. All of the cakes we have had here have been good, and I would get them all again, but if I had to choose and only get one it would be the raspberry yuzu pistachio. It’s just so light and refreshing and delicious!

Then more wandering through town and we somehow managed to make it back to our place right as it ended! Right at 6pm! I don’t know how we managed that, but it was so nice cause we were both exhausted by that point. I had thought about going out for dinner, but we were both like I am not walking more! So deliver it was - ramen this time and it was super tasty!

My feet are still tired and sore right now and parts of my back/arms are sore and are probably going to be really sore tomorrow from carrying my phone and playing all day! It uses different muscles so we shall see. It was so much fun I did think maybe we should get a city play pass for tomorrow as well and play some more…We got super lucky with the weather today, no rain, mostly sunny (with a pretty cold wind so was glad I had my layers, but), but tomorrow it is supposed to rain all day. Plus the bike race is tomorrow and I’m sure it will be a bit busy, though the race doesn’t stretch until the afternoon, but we shall see what we get up to (and how tired we are). If it’s nice out it might be hard to resist playing another half-ish day!Read more
