Vi elsker MAD!

Definitely, our trip to Denmark is about architecture, shopping & food... Today, we spent some cash in several amazing stores and we learn and cook a typical traditional Danish recipe: Frikadelle og kartoffeler med brun sauce, rødkål, agurkesalat og asier... And it was a success! Can you believe it?

1- Vintage time in København...



2- Danish typical architecture... Bricks.



3- Some memories... Bikes, the City Hall place, Tivoli Park, and amazing Palads Cinema...



4- Cooking time... And testing new drinks: elderflower and blueberry juices!



5- Time to eat! Let´s enjoy these new flavours!

Hvad ville du vælge?

We arrived this morning at CPH airport, and the first thing we did was to eat a real danish pølse hot-dog and frikadelle!




Then we reached Nærum thanks to the best and easiest public transportation system ever! There we met our first host, Michael. He lives in a nice flat 20km from the inner city, and joined us to visit København this afternoon. Thanks to him, we saved a lot of money and bought cheap train tickets, and we visited efficiently the town center:

1- Ørestad zone > The Jean Nouvel´s Concert Hall, the DR Byen (National TV) building and the Lungard & Tranberg Student Dormitory.




2- Kongens Nytorv (King´s new square) and Nyhavn (built on dutch model).



3- Opera house, København port, Little Mermaid statue.



4- The Royal Residence, the Marble Church.




And this is our couch in Nærum!
