There's more to Copenhagen then meets the eye

As I get close to wrapping up this trip portion of blogs I realize that I have a lot of stuff to cover in CPN. Along with the fact, as mentioned, that we were now a group of six (mostly, we split off, more later, for a morning....)  we did quite a bit. An even tho CPH seems a bit 'duller' in some way in my mind, thinking of all we did....
So our first full day we all took the train to Malmo, Sweden. So we've been in seven countries now. Ha. Some for hours/minutes..... Anyway, easy 30 minute train travel and exit at the standard Euro square/train station area. Walk a bit and then choose a lunch spot. Aperol spritz, yes. Nothing else spectacular. We walk a bit around the city and head back to Copenhagen. This ends up being pizza night. Next day: we four are off to Christiania. You know it, if not, and you're traveling there, you will. We got there (retrospectively), early. Maybe 10 -11? Walked around the sleepy area - nature/lake/residential area and the 'town square', some side streets with studios etc. As we were leaving the place really started to wake up - and we (again with the retrospectively), should have turned back around and stayed, but we did not. We walked to a canal and got on a resto/bar boat and had a cocktail and contacted JK/MKK. They were now moving, slowly, and we decided to meet, soon, at the food hall. Indoor/outdoor upscale 'food court'. We had a variety of sandwiches, sides and a big bottle of Tattinger. They provide champagne glasses (plastic, stemmed), Of course they do. Again with the civilized. This evening we end things with a bang: a terrific canal boat tour. A charming Finnish gal, about 24 years old, was our captain. We had beers/wine/etc provided. Ilona is the kind of person who should go far in life: very engaging, funny and warm. She told us about the Danish word skat. There are two dots above the a, by the way. It means taxes, but the slang use means your girlfriend, your baby. Skat. We hunted her down after disembarking, wanted to tip her but had no kroner. I wrote her a note, in case we had to leave the $20 US we decided on, with the booking guy. She came up and we told her again how much we enjoyed. She looked at my little note, in which I called her skat, and was smiling about it.

I'll finish it all by the end of the next post!
