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.

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

We were quite successful at three different grocery stores for the food we were looking for.

We are in Copenhagen on our from London to Morocco. If you are wondering why we are taking this circuitous route, it is because we have a lot of Norwegian Airlines credits. When the pandemic shut things down Duke and I were Spain with reservations to fly home from Rome on Norwegian Airlines. Obviously we didn’t use those reservations. We received Norwegian Airlines credits for the canceled flights, and now we are using them. We arrived in Copenhagen at 10:20 pm last night and are planning to leave for Marrakesh, Morocco at 6:20 am tomorrow morning. We are staying at the Clarian hotel at the airport . That’s really nice because we can walk to the airport gates and also to the Copenhagen metro system directly from the hotel.

Early this afternoon we caught the metro into central Copenhagen. We had a wonderful meal at a coffee shop near our metro stop. We shared an order of mussels and fries and a plate of local fish. Both were excellent.

Then we wandered around central Copenhagen enjoying the sites.

I even found a wonderful yarn shop to browse in.

On our way back to the hotel we stopped at a grocery store and bought wine cheese and bread for dinner.
