Ahhhh, this is good.
Today the four of us would take the train into Copenhagen with the special focus on going to Christiansborg’s castle. There we would see an amazing display of modern tapestries done by one of the finiest artists in Denmark, Bjørn Nørgaard.
This was another one of the Danish Royal palaces, and it was lovely to see there were so many wonderful rooms. And we really enjoyed seeing the library seeing the ballroom, seeing the way that they do the Royal Place settings. They have people whose whole job it is to make sure the place settings are just right and it takes three days to set the table for these royal dinners.
The grounds of the palace were so beautiful. What a great setting for a photo of Willie and Karin. We strolled around enjoying such things as the new statue which featured at King holding two towers upside down. The artist stated he wanted to arouse curiosity. Success.
Lunch was fish and chips with a view of the water in the canals. Then we also had a chance to see the outside of the building Karin and Willie lived in when they were first married many years ago. It was fun to hear their reflections on how life in the city had changed in that time.
Copenhagen has bicycles, bike lanes, and bike bridges everywhere. 62% of people in Copenhagen used bikes to commute to work, wow. It is a very bike friendly city.
We took the Metro back to their house, and then enjoyed an amazing salmon dinner. Great, great food. Another beautiful day in the city of Copenhagen.
