Copenhagen Day 2

This morning we took the metro into central Copenhagen. Coincidentally the Copenhagen marathon was going on. We’ve been here before for the marathon and we always have fun people watching.

Getting breakfast across from the metro station.

The tongue in this lion’s mouth moves!

Then we went on a scavenger hunt to find some specific food and books we had requests for.

The lady on the left helped us find the books we wanted. Duke is paying.
We were quite successful at three different grocery stores for the food we were looking for.
On the metro back to the airport and our hotel.
Picnic dinner in our room.

Edinburgh, Scotland to Copenhagen, Denmark

Saturday we started our journey home. In Edinburgh we started our day with scones, clotted cream and jam.

Breakfast at Mimi’s Bakehouse

We were lucky to have Scotland send us off with a parade, the Tartan Parade. We checked out of our hotel, stored our suitcases then walked through Princess Street Gardens. We watched the parade as it came down from the Royal Mile.

There were lots of bagpipe bands and highland dancers but these were the only Scottie’s
I think these were the only dinosaurs too.

For dinner we went back to Milnes Pub where we ate on our first day in Edinburgh. After eating meat pies all over Scotland I think the Milnes Steak and Ale pie is the best.

I loved Scotland

After our early dinner we went back to the hotel, retrieved our bags, and went to the airport. We took an 8pm Ryan Air flight to Copenhagen where we are staying near the airport. Monday we will fly home.
