Fun with Ulf and Lotte

After a nice one night stay at the Tivoli Hotel in Copenhagen, right next to the famous Tivoli amusement park, Ulf came and picked me and all my luggage up and before heading to their beautiful home, we zipped about Copenhagen a bit. Each time I've come to visit, Ulf plays Best Host Ever and takes me to see a couple of unique spots. This time we started with a walk thru Christiania (worth a look-up on the net). A commune type of city within the city - they have declared themselves a sovereign state - funny as it was formerly an army barracks and when the army moved to new digs...well let's just say a population of forward thinkers moved in. 

Entering - after that, there are only a few places where photos are allowed - nefarious deeds going on and all that!

A little too early for the concerts to begin, but they are always ready! 

Tall ship in the harbour

The Royal Yaught - window, driving and a touch of rain, so not the best shot if it. 

The amazing new Opera House, side view

Beer and open sandwiches at Copenhagen Street Food - right on harbour, dozens and dozens of kiosks and did I mention delicious? Well it was!

Eating street food and admiring the view of the Theatre for performing arts. Okay, enjoying the dark beer, too!

Supper and then a coffe at an amazing North Sea Inn 

It was getting dark - too dark to see sea almost! Ha!

They have such an amazing home - and it's filled with photos, antiques and amazing dog art collected over many years! Ulf took these two off their walls so I could snap them together - by amazing Danish artist Irene Naarits

Ulf giving me a lesson on how to show reindeer 

I learn quickly - he awarded me the BIS ribbon!
