Oh Copenhagen. So we found out that we are staying on the crappiest block in the neighborhood. But the neighborhood itself is totally fine and the hotel is really nice at a great price. We have had no troubles with the local criminals we aren't the customers they are looking for so they leave us alone.
This morning we had a great brunch at the hotel in the very sunny courtyard amongst the heavy European smokers, we got especially lucky, two old men smoky their pipes, yummmmm...love me a lung full of tobacco smoke with breakfast.
Okay on a side note, Debra and I have been having the discussion about how parents and kids here actually make you want to have a family. Having a child here doesn't make you a naurotic mess. People take their kids out and don't make a fuss everything is private. Their kids aren't pitching fits, or skating in a restaurant and any inappropriate behavior is not tolerated . They make parenting seem enjoyable. Okay side note ended.
Today we went to Norrebro on our bartender's recommendation, he lives there. He suggested we head over to Blågardsgade that there a bunch of cafes. We walked through this amazing park with multiple lakes in the center with swans and ducks. The park starts at Gammel Kongevej and Svineryggen, it seems to have few names depending the section you are walking through. People jogging in this park can be quite aggressive, its like there running for their lives and you better get out of their way or they'll knock your ass down.
Then we made our way over to Blågardsgade, it was not the coolest place in town and our friend at the hotel suggested. But we walked further towards Norrebro's epicenter (according to Time Out) Skt. Hans Gade on the way we found Laundromat cafe which our friend Dada let us know about which we later have a nice beverage at and they a nice menu too.
I picked up a couscous salad and breaded eggplant at Beatroot on Elmegade and went to eat it on the benches at Skt. Hans Gade in front of Pussy Galore's Flying Circus (which is great place to use the WC). Debra and I spent the afternoon just walking around the neighborhood until we came to an antique store that was floor to ceiling junk! Debra ventured in and confirmed, lots of junk.
We kept passing cafes with tons of people just spilling out onto the streets watching the soccer game today the match between Germany and the UK, it was insane you could hear the screaming down many of the streets.
We found Laudromat again and got nice people watching seats ordered some beverages and watched beautiful Danes on the bikes ride by.
Next stop Irma City the supermarket for some water and treats. We bought some delicious honey waffles,hot chocolate and beer, the beer was for drinking when we got back to the hotel. Coming out of the market we met a very sweet Scottie.
Got back to the Axel, dropped our supermarket finds and drank our brewskies.
Afterwards we headed to Biomio again for a delicious second try. Debra had a 3 mix platter, with a summer salad, tzaziki with wholegrain bread, lentil salad with lots of veggies, I had the sirloin steak with new potatoes and summer salad. The summer salad had tiny strawberries, slices of oranges, aspargus, green salad with blue cheese dressing, really delish.
Then back to the hotel to hangout for a bit in the courtyard before bed.
