Kobenhavn Experience...






From Berlin we ventured up to Kobenhavn, on a train/ferry voyage. A highlight of this leg was the fact that the train actually boarded a ferry, a first time experience for both Kyle and I. The efficiency of European public transportation never ceases to amaze me. While in Copenhagen, we spent a lot of time with our Californian friends Mel and Adam, who are about half-way through their year abroad adventure. Kobenhavn and the surrounding area offered us many options for exploration. We visited a nearby castle, toured a brewery, climbed a few towers, and wandered through endless parks. In addition, we viewed the infamous Little Mermaid statue and tasted some incredibly delicious pastries. Wouldn't it be lovely if the afternoon coffee and gourmet pastry tradition was a more integral part of United States culture?
