Back home.

I'm happy to be back home after a great 2 week trip to Denmark and Sweden. I'll post highlights this week here on the blog. Today I wanted to show you some pictures from the first part of our trip, in Copenhagen. We stayed there for about 5 days before taking the train to Malmo and driving across Sweden to Stockholm for the rest of our time. We loved Copenhagen especially all the bicycles. We have never seen so many people biking, of all ages. We rented bikes for a few days and that was the best way to discover cool neighborhoods and little shops. Luckily too, it's flat, so it makes for very pleasant rides. Here are some highlights...

I loved all the colors of the buildings and the quaint streets. We stayed at this hostel which was very convenient for walking and biking around. This is a typical street near where were staying.

We had lunch at The Royal Cafe and after visiting the Royal Copenhagen store. We had delicious tea and a brownie. The craftsmanship of the hand painted china is amazing. It was fun that we were served our tea in the mismatched pieces.

We stumbled upon this beautiful cemetery while biking around.

We also discovered a few great antique stores on Gammel Jernbanevej in Vesterbro.

I loved this store Quriosa, I wanted to buy one of those great hanging lamps. But alas, how would I get in my suitcase?

My favorite little shop we went to was Liebe, very close to where we stayed.

Liebe looks lovely, as if you made yourself into a store.. it all screams "Laura" to me!

Oh, I love the Royal Cafe. Did you have the carafe of water with charcoal at the bottom? I was there in the run up to Christmas a couple of years ago and bought some beautiful Royal Copenhagen baubles. Only 1 remains - they didn't like the wooden floors...

The Danish have such incredible style.

Love your blog, Laura, and wow, great photos of Copenhagen. I went there in June and it was absolutely loved it too. I love the storefronts down below street level, and the house we stayed in was very much like the ones in your first photo. Such a cool place...I'd love to live there for a while, if I could only persuade myself that it might be possible to learn the language! Looking forward to more lovely photos.

I so glad you like 'my city'. I used to live in Copehagen (now I'm in England). I always enjoy going back to visit. Luckely my sister lives in Copenhagen, so I HAVE to go on a regular basis :-) Your photos made me quite homesick. I do love the Royal Cafe as well. It's expensive, but such a neat place just to hang out for a while.

aw thankyou for this. Copenhagen is one of my most favourite places in the whole world and seeing your post made me want to visit once again, and quick!

I have spent many a lovely afternoon picnic in Assistens Cemetery with my best friend and her little ones. I love it that you randomly spend time there and enjoyed it, too!
