Our day started with a complimentary breakfast at our hotel. It was insanely good and we are looking forward to our next three breakfasts here. They have an iPad where you can pick your coffee drink and it comes out of a facet like magic. 

Our first activity was a morning walking tour. We walked around many neighborhoods and stopped for Danish pastries and coffee. On our way back from the tour we stopped at some cute Danish shops.

For a light lunch we went to a food market and tried Denmark’s famous Smorrebrod (open-faced sandwiches). 

Our next stop was Tivoli, an old amusement park and garden. It was extremely crowded and the ride lines were long but it’s a must see in Copenhagen. We got a great thrill from standing under the giant rollercoaster and seeing people turned upside down. 

To get to Tivoli we rode bikes. We used bikes from a company called Donkey Republic. To use them you use an app and it tells you where the closest bikes are (they are everywhere). Each bike has its own name and you unlock the bike with Bluetooth from your phone. Then, you can return the bike anywhere and end the rental on the app. Like Citi Bikes, but smarter because you can dump them anywhere. 

After Tivoli, we biked to the autonomous zone in Copenhagen. It came highly recommended, but ended up being kind of a bust and full of drug dealers😃. Elyse says that’s how they keep the rest of the city so safe! There were no photos allowed in case you were working for the government…

Then, we walked back to our hotel and got ready for dinner. We had a delicious meal at a restaurant called Krebsegaarden. We got to create our own tasting menu. Our waiter told us that Nancy Pelosi and other senators had eaten there but more importantly that Bill Nye had. See you tomorrow!
