Last days in CPH

We all slept in yesterday and then did some October trip planning while it rained all morning. After finally venturing out for lunch, we found a place with a lunch platter that had the local speciality - Smørrebrød (basically an open face sandwich with the primary topping being pickled herring). Joce wasn’t a fan but I enjoyed it. The platter ended up being way too much food so we decided to walk to our next destination - Green George (the only troll in the city). Our tenth and final troll of the trip, he was located in Christiana, a rough area of town that has been completed cleared out because of gang wars and is undergoing a transformation to make it liveable again. Gideon finally found a bag that he has been searching for on our last three trips and Elliot and Jocelyn found rings at a local vendor.

From Christiana, we walked to a large pedestrian bridge and stumbled upon Broens Street Food Market. Since we had just eaten, we marked it down to return and continued into town to window shop. A little more rain came down (and with it, a rainbow) before finally heading home. We grabbed some snacks to enjoy while we watched a movie (Yes Day) before bed.

Today, we packed up and took our luggage to storage at the Copenhagen Central Terminal, about 15 minutes away. We decided to sign up for a last minute discount escape room. We beat the Time Machine (Back to the Future themed) with 10 minutes to spare and only 1 real hint (average for the room was 6 hints). It was a good room. We then got to walk back across the bridge to have lunch at Broens. Joce and I had yummy street tacos and drinks, Elliot had pasta and boys had burgers. After the late lunch, we still had time to shop since we didn’t find any souvenirs yesterday. After shopping, we headed back to the train station (and got a picture of Tivoli which is right across the street) before boarding our short train ride to the airport (very convenient and cheap to get to the airport in this city). Hit up global blue for a refund on our sales tax before boarding our flight home. A relaxing trip with (mostly) great weather.Lue lisää
