Danmark!

A new day, a new country! Well, actually Danmark is the only one of the Scandinavian countries I had actually been before, although I didn’t see much of it, and I definitely didn’t try the beer bars…

But before I even got there, I still had a couple of hours to go on the MS Nordic Crown. Since the sun rises quite early that far north, so did I, and before eight, I was already enjoying the very extensive breakfast buffet in the Kull restaurant. 

Since I had already packed my bag, I had plenty of time to observe the arrival process. 

Finally on land again, I hopped on the train to get to my hotel. To my delight, Wakeup Copenhagen already had a room ready for me, saving me quite a lot of time. 

Just down the street was one of many Original Coffee outlets, which satisfied my coffee needs for the morning. 

Then it was just another short walk to the National Museum of Denmark. There I learned that Danmark was quite a bit more imperialistic than I realised. 

After a coffee and a rye bread smørrebrød with chicken at Sonny, I headed all the way to Mikkeller Baghaven, which was not even on my original itinerary, because it was quite far…

A bus and a metro then brought me back to another hip part of town, for a coffee at Prolog Coffee Bar

Just around the corner was Fermentoren, an awesome beer bar I would love to have in my neighbourhood. 

But I really had to go to Warpigs Brewpub for at least some of their locally brewed beers, and some of their Piggy Poppers.  

For a proper dinner I went to Chicky Grill, where I had Flæskesteg (roast pork). 

After that I was up for a few more beers: one at Mikkeller Bar Viktoriagade—they didn’t have more than one that appealed to me on the menu anyway—and a few more at the half-in-Tivoli-embedded Anarkist Bar.
