2017.Europe.Copenhagen: Wednesday, June 21: 20,000 steps outside.

Today was our final visit to the Embassy (we hope!). We picked up Bob's emergency passport, which is good for a year. He will not have to pay when he gets a new regular passport. The Embassy people were very helpful and efficient.

We actually had time to come back to the hotel and get more coffee and breakfast!

Today, the first stop was the Church of our Savior, which has this amazing corkscrew spire that Bob wanted to climb.

The steps are outside!!!

I was content to find a coffee shop across the street and have a big latte while he climbed.

Our next stop was Christiania, a leftover hippie communed from the 70s. We walked around and looked at items right out of a headshop from the 60s.

Along one aisle, various people were selling different strains of marijuana, and the scent of weed was everywhere. There's also a women's blacksmith shop, where they make all sorts of art from iron; they also sell other artists' work there.

We walked around a big lake in the place and then came back to an outdoor area for a beer. We also watched graffiti artists paint over other graffiti, obviously with the permission of the powers that be.

We planned to take the bus back to our hotel but ended up stopping by the National Museum and having lunch in a square nearby at Restaurant PUK. Our server was charming, and the food was traditional Danish: open-faced sandwiches. I had tartar, and Bob had cheese and pork fat (looked like aspic). We both had beer, of course.

After lunch, we rode back to our hotel area but got off one stop before we should have (we think). Anyway, we were one street above our normal street. Once we found our bearings, I shopped for socks while Bob went back to the hotel. He took a nap, and then we were off to Tivoli Gardens, one of the world's oldest amusement parks.
