A glimpse of Copenhagen

Departing from Iceland in the early afternoon, Ashley and I headed to mainland Europe, specifically Copenhagen, Denmark. The last experience Ashley and I had there was memorable by an unfortunate event which casted a cloud over our stay there. A few years ago, during a walk through the city, we fumbled the digital camera and dropped it on the cobble stone. The camera took terrible, lined pictures after that and we were pretty bummed. We knew we had to go back for a better impression of Copenhagen.

It was kind of a quick tour, only a day and half, but it was fun. We rented a cool little BMW, stayed in the Scandic and ate some terrific meals. Ashley was really excited about the BMW coupe, it was a great little car to drive.

We decided to visit the infamous Carlsberg brewery on Sunday and it was pretty cool indeed. They are a real beer powerhouse for Denmark and indeed have a global presence. They also keep a stable with horses that ares used on occasion to pull the beer wagon to deliver beer around Copenhagen.

The upstairs loft in the Carlsberg museum housed a climate-controlled collection of global beers which was really neat, it numbered in the tens of thousands!

Of course we made a pass down the main street to check the scene, at the time it was really threatening to rain. We thought to buy a pizza downtown and bring it back to the Scandic to enjoy later. When the locals are lined up ordering pizzas and eating, you know it is a good establishment.

Unfortunately we had to leave pretty early the next morning for Sweden. Our arrival in Sweden was also Ashley's birthday! Her second birthday in Sweden, cool!
