I can’t believe today is our last day here but I do think we are all ready to go home. There is so much to see and do, it’s overwhelming, even at our slow pace. I’ll probably reflect on our time here a little more later but we are all so glad we had this experience. Traveling with two small… Read more →

Statens Museum for Kunst and Dinner Epiphany

We took the bus from our street to the train station at Østerport and then just one stop south for some great touristy stuff!… Read more →
