Danish Holiday - Part One (Around Town and the Big City)

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

 
Vacation came and went much too quickly. I stayed put in Denmark, but my little brother Bennett came to visit. The two weeks off of work were well worth it and much needed. We spent the first couple of days in Vejle, and then the next four in Copenhagen. After living in Denmark for almost a year, it was actually my first time spending any time in the capital city!

We did a ton... anyone who travels with me knows that I like to do and see -- not relax. So, we did and we saw and had a really nice time. Below are some instagrams I snapped while in Vejle and Copenhagen. More to come!










Bennett likes dogs after all/He also really likes sweets and pastries/Vejle has some nice spots, an old church and a nice harbor/Colorful buildings abound in Copenhagen/Changing of the guards at the royal palace/We learned about the work of Jørgen Leth/Visited so many museums and galleries, including the Danish Resistance Museum/Nørrebro turned out to be my kind of neighborhood and reminded us a bit of Chicago for some reason/Gorgeous shops and boutiques are everywhere in Copenhagen/Tivoli was just as breathtaking as everyone says it is/Nyhavn or the "Pretty Harbor" as we referred to it, mandatory for any tourist/Attended some of the Jazz Festival events including John Scofield in a beautiful old theatre/Sebastian and the Little Mermaid/Drank way too much overpriced coffee and ate lots of smørrebrød/Lines from The Room were exchanged frequently throughout the visit/Old buildings/Spelt porridge.

Spray Cans

While out on a walk this weekend, I discovered a little part of the city that I hadn't come across yet. It was covered in tags and graffiti, and littered with spray cans. It was beautiful! Definitely one of my favorite parts of Vejle. Though much of it seemed impromptu, some of it seemed to be an organized arm of a defunct gallery.

Saturday Brunch

Monday, December 19, 2011


I found a cute new place in town called Oda's and had brunch there on Saturday. The food situation in Denmark has turned out to be pretty disappointing -- most restaurants here are pretty blah or downright bad. Way too expensive for nothing special! Eating at home is by far the best choice and my cooking skills have definitely blossomed since being here. But, eating out once in a while is necessary, so I am glad I have another choice!
