Day #278

Sunday, June 21

So there's this giant tower in Copenhagen at the Church of Our Savior and we climbed all the way to the top of that thing to take some pretty panoramic pictures of the surrounding area. LOOK HOW TALL!!





We also explored this place called Christianshaven which is basically the part of Copenhagen where people aren't allowed to take pictures because that's where all the drug deals go down. We did not know this when we went there. It was a little bit scary because people wore things over their heads (so they couldn't be recognized for illegally selling drugs) and people seemed like extreme hippies, but in a slightly more alienated way. Not a place that I want to revisit. But a cultural experience? I guess? Maybe? 

To recover from the sketchiness, we got some delicious (and inexpensive!) sandwiches, sat by the canal, and watched tour boats go by. We counted the amount of tourists who took our picture thinking we were locals and posed for them. Joke's on you, tourists, it's only our sandwiches that were authentic- authentically DELICIOUS! *drops microphone and retires from career as a comedian*


We jumped on a few more sidewalk trampolines and walked around the town center and a giant park (since it was Sunday and, as we know in Europe, almost everything is closed on Sunday's). We found an open grocery store and bought rations for dinner, making a delicious stir fry and watching the sun set from the balcony of our Airbnb as we ate dinner. Not too shabby, to be sure.
