Day 20: Copenhagen

One more church! This one is known as the “marble church.”
— at Frederiks Kirke – Marmorkirken.

Our last day before flying home. First we wandered around within a few blocks of our hotel, including Amalienborg Palace. Then we met a friend of Ana’s for brunch. She offered us a pass with free admission for all of us for Tivoli, so we decided to walk down and do that.

Tivoli wasn’t really on my list of must-do things in Copenhagen because I’m not really an amusement park/rides person – but I’m so glad we went! It’s a beautiful place to just wander around. Was built in the mid 1800s and there are lots of things to explore and plants & flowers everywhere.

Next we thought we’d check out the meatpacking district which was recommended – but there didn’t seem to be much going on. Maybe it was the time of day? So we walked back up to our hotel neighborhood, where I’d picked out a traditional Danish restaurant for dinner. It did not disappoint! And called it an early night to rest up for travel tomorrow.

That’s the marble church at the end
Simple but really tasty – good sourdough, butter, cheese and a soft boiled egg.
— at Barlie.
Ana bought some fresh peas and cherries that we snacked on throughout the day
Denmark is the land of LEGO, so we had to stop in a store! This is a recreation of the Nyhavn district we went to yesterday.
at City Hall Square, Copenhagen.
This shall be known as the Alley of Stench. We walked down a long shopping street, and at the end of it there was a sanitation truck that created possibly one of the worst smells I’ve ever smelled. People were gagging and putting their shirts over their noses as they ran through. Yikes!

For dinner I had the national dish of Denmark: fried pork belly with a parsley sauce, served with potatoes and pickled beets. It was tasty! Rob had a really good stew with various kinds of pork.

Taking advantage of this while I can stand to be outside (today’s high was about 71°)
