Hello Copenhagen

Nyhavn harbour

It was very hard to leave Paris after four amazing months, but it made it easier knowing that we had 2 1/2 weeks of touring through Scandinavia before going back to Canada. Our first stop was Copenhagen, and I absolutely fell in love with it! I think it is my new mission in life to move to Denmark!

Copenhagen seems like the perfect city for me - room temperature is about 28 C and all outdoor patios come with blankets draped over the back of chairs (I'm always cold), strawberry and rhubarb jam can be found at the grocery store (my Mom would always make this for us growing up), and the pickled herring is delicious - and readily available in so many varieties (the Norwegian in me loves it!). To top it off, Copenhagen is an awesome city with beautiful parks and architecture, great food, and shopping (there are a few design stores and department stores that you can get lost in for hours), and it is easy to get around on foot, or as the locals do it, on bikes. I'm loving my future home!

Smørrebrød platter for one (we split it in two and it was still too much!).
