3 June 2024 Copenhagen: Our Place, Stores and a Trip into Town

 


Like many coastal cities Copenhagen is reclaiming some of the low lying land for new neighborhoods.  That is exactly the type of neighborhood where we are staying.  The buildings are new, the metro stations are still under construction and it has a hipster new vibe.  We are very pleased with the AirBnB it is a three bedroom two bathroom apartment with balconies on both sides of the building.  Our host met us the night previously and even though we were on out 20th hour without sleep we were able to absorb all of his information.  We headed out to explore today and learned the bus system.  We chose to visit the Christiana area with its funky vibe only to learn it is getting an upgrade and lots of areas were under construction.  We came back after a few hours of wandering and went to the store to stock up on much needed supplies.
