// heading back home, they were handing out free cans of coke in the metro station.



// teeny tiny cans.



// i happened to have a strong craving for peking duck that week, so we found a chinese restaurant that had it. but i think we ordered the wrong version. no crispy skin! =(

day 069

// i decided to use one of the free city bikes this day to explore. here, i'm at the amalienborg palace. that's not me though. it's some random other tourist, because i didn't have anyone to take a picture of me.

day 068

// the most delicious chocolate chip hazelnut cookie from meyers bageri. i went back at least every other day to see if they made them again (usually not). mind you, the trip to this bakery took at least 30 minutes each way. yes, it was that good.
