Day 11: Travel to Copenhagen!

We traveled from Ribe to Copenhagen today, which was quite a shift from quaint Ribe to the bustling streets of Copenhagen.

Our travel took approximately 3.5 hrs by train. At the Copenhagen station, there was an interesting shop combination, made more stark because just yesterday we’d been reading about how early physicians dealt with medicines for healing, but barbers were the surgeons.

Here was the odd, albeit benign, combination at the station: Shoes and Keyservice.

This was the outside of the Copenhagen station:

And here was part of the interior:

We then walked through the streets, eating lunch in a food court on our way to the Steel House, which is a hostel/hotel in downtown Copenhagen.

There were so many people!! This is what we saw along the way:

Our room at the hostel has 4 bunkbeds and a locker for each:

Our original plan had us visiting another museum this afternoon, but we decided instead to take a canal tour and see the city from the water. It was beautiful, and the sun was just going down, so we also saw a gorgeous sunset.

Here is our selfie, with our boy purposefully posing himself to look like he’s eating his sister’s head:

And here are the pretty sights we saw from the water:

Then we wandered the (chilly!) streets and found a great Shwarma restaurant, with me getting the vegetarian plate with falafel, hummus, pita, tabbouleh, and dolma. Everyone else got plates with various types of meat.

Mmmmm….
