2nd Weekend Adventures in Copenhagen

After a busy first week of getting the main things done such as getting a bank account, CPR number and an apartment, we felt the need to do a bit of exploring of our new city. We knew that there weren't dog parks like we had in Houston, but we did hear about Hundeskovene (Dog Forests), where you can let you dog run free. The nearest one to us was a couple of miles away, but even without a car, getting your dog around Denmark is pretty easy. You just buy a dog ticket and you can take your dog on the train.

The three of us got on the train at our local station and arrived at the station closest to Bernstorff Slotshave (Bernstorff Palace Garden) and after a quick walk, Gretchen was allowed to run free. For a dog born in South Texas near Mexico, she absolutely loves the snow and runs around like a lunatic.The cold weather suits her, and she seems to have a lot more energy than it humid Houston. There were plenty of other dog for her to chase and she certainly slept well that night.

On Sunday we took the bikes on a tour into the city. Cycling down by the harbour, along by the Amaliehaven (Amalie Garden) and Nyhavn.

From there we then cycled through the city and stopped of at Torvehallerne, a large indoor food market with over 80 vendors selling amazing looking breads, meats, cheeses, and a huge range of other goodies. We bough a couple of Fransk Gløgg (Vin Chaud) to warm us up while walking around.
