Copenhagen - Day 2

Another beautiful sunny day in Copenhagen, and we started out by taking the long walk to Christiania Freetown. It is a hippy-style location with lots of market stalls and shops. I bought a shirt, but nothing else as we are travelling light on the motorbike. On our way back to the city centre we  checked out the National Museum of Denmark. We went through a rather boring multimedia experience about a Viking Sorceress. A small highlight for me was to see a real Viklund axe. This axe has a cross in its centre and was considered a ceremonial axe. This is the same axe I have on a tattoo on my left arm.

I am now becoming a big fan of an Aperol Spritz - after so much walking sure what else would you do for lunch! After this we made a long walk to the Home of Carlsberg. We really should have checked out what was open/closed. We saw very little because almost everything was closed - but we did have a beer, probably!

For dinner this evening we went to the War Pigs restaurant. Nothing to do with Black Sabbath, just delicious food. The place was packed and we had to queue for a while. We had superb pork ribs - a great experience. We also had a discussion about our journey to Gothenberg tomorrow.  Due to expected heavy rain, Roma will take the train, while I will deviate from original plan and head north to Helsingør and take a ferry to Helsinborg. There will be rain, but hopefully I will avoid the expected heavy downpours.
