Copenhagen was a pretty city, with so much color and the canals – but I think I was completely over-stuffed with European cities and couldn’t take in more. Except for the library, I didn’t really get excited about anything.
But when we felt done with the city, we went back to Markus’s part of the city, I bought strawberries and sweet peas and then Markus took me to the beach. Because, there it was, a proper beach by the sea, just walking distance from Markus’s house. I got to use my bikini for the first time on my trip, taking a swim in the sea while longingly looking at the Swedish shore sticking up on the other side. It was a great way to end the day. They do have something special, the Copenhageners, being able to go swimming at a beach like this, basically in the middle of the city.
