Arrived in Copenhagen safe and sound and was suprised to find it was summertime! Was picked up at the airport by my friend Natasa who has been studying there all quarter and who said that this was the first nice weekend of the year. We took the train and then a bus to her place in the Frederiksberg neighborhood. Along the way I got to see a little bit of the town, which was bustling with people cars and bikes. Almost got run over at least twice as I stumbled around in the bright sun into bike lanes and pedestrian islands.
The next morning I awoke to another gorgeous day, Natasa and I had a light breakfast and then headed out to find me a bike. Bicycling was Natasa’s main form of transportation in the city and I was excited to try it out. We found a shop and rented a black cruiser called The Sprit of St Louis. It was big a clunky compared to my bike at home but just perfect for a city with bikelanes everywhere and no hills.
The next few days were full of bicycling, eating goodies (gelato yum!), and exploring the city. The warm weather even held up long enough for us to do some sunbathing and swimming at Islands Brygge
