We reached Copenhagen, Denmark, the day before yesterday. We then spent the rest of the day eating and drinking coffee, followed by wine, before walking back to the hotel excessively loud and drunk. It was an excellent first night in Denmark.
We repeated the same thing yesterday while squeezing in a trip to Ulriken.
Today It was still dawn when I woke up. The sun was still slowly waking up. I was still slowly waking up.
I wanted to savour the alone time to reflect and remember. I pulled my deck from my travel backpack. I didn’t shuffle my cards this time. It was utterly tranquil in the room. I didn’t want to wake my heavily sleeping cousins. Three of Cups. Nice! It could be a spillover of last night’s energy, but I welcomed it. I didn’t have much to say about the card this time. I preferred to use the remaining time to stand by the huge window overlooking the beautiful river and daydream. I did just that. Let it be on the record that I love this kind of moment. The liminal spacey moments.
Once the rest of the gang woke up, we got ready. We then started by loading up on delicious Danish pastries at the famous La Glaze. Thankfully, it managed to soak up the leftover alcohol in my system, while the cappuccino helped diminish the hangover traces. With it, I was ready to enjoy my last day in Denmark.
After some reflect-and-pray time inside the beautiful Church of Our Lady, we joined our walking food tour group. I am happy to report that my last hours in Copenhagen were filled with good food, strong drinks, interesting people, and fun facts. Soon after, we rushed back to the hotel to check out and leave for Amsterdam; unfortunately, it meant I didn’t get to go to any bookstore in Denmark, which was a bummer as going to the bookstore is one of the must-dos on my travel check-list.
Hey, to think about it, now that we have checked it and all, maybe there is a bookstore in this airport! All right, guys, gtg, I am off to buy Miek Wieking’s latest book, The Art of Making Memories. It would be great if I could score the (English version) book here, in the land of Danish itself. Wish me luck!
Ps. I got the book! I am going to read on the plane to Amsterdam. Super delighted!
Pps. I also got a few other souvenirs. Mostly for myself. #keepingitreal.
