You've got your pleasures all around you They're all in a row

This was the view from petra's window. It was sooo cold in denmark when I was there that we couldn't really do all that much. Besides half the time I was there EVERYTHING was closed because of easter. but it suited me fine to wake up late, take ages to get ready, not dress warmly enough and then finally bracing the cold.

we were at the mexibar, which is a cute little place that has a whole lot of crap on the walls like moving deer heads. it was completely packed and everyone was having frozen strawberry magaritas so we had some too. but there was meant to be a snowstorm that night. there were weather warnings and much ado. so when the place closed at around 4 we were going to go to rust nightclub. but we couldn't breathe the air was so cold so we kinda panicked and went home. turned out the snowstorm wasn't so big a deal.



This was really yummy.

We spent quite some time here. There's cafes on the left. We sat outside for hours once even though it was cold. They provide blankets.

We went to this tea room. It was sooo adorable. Not a single thing matched. not even our teaspoons.

Oh everything is really expensive in denmark. but we went to this student bar that had really cheap shots of "fisk" which is this vile menthol thing that wasn't too bad. but the shots here are sooooo small. it's 20ml as opposed to 30 in aus and they have a timer on the bottles so you don't get a drop over 20ml. we had close to 10 and it didn't do nearly enough.

denmark is really pretty. even though all the shops were closed. we still wandered up and down just window shopping.

One night we went to watch Into the Wild. it was such a good movie. so 90s. loved it. and the theater was so quaint like everything else in denmark. the blurry castle thing on the left is tivoli, which i understand is like luna park but with more class. unfortunately it's only opened when it's warmer.

one day we visited christiana, which is in copenhagen but they've divorced themselves from denmark. they're their own country. petra said it reminds her of wonderland, like the derelict old australia section near the beast i thought it looked more like the horror bit near the demon. but yes it was sooo rustic it looked fake. and there were bins on fire and grafitti on every square inch of everything. unfortunately you're not allowed to take pictures because of the drugs whatever. but i loved the graffiti everywhere in denmark it was just much more concentrated here.

we also visited hans christian anderson's grave. which was in this adorable cemetery. we went to the little mermaid, which is this famous statue in the sea. a bus load of russian tourist just pulled up as we got that, after petra and i had to trek to it. and my fingers were stinging from the cold. i seriously thought i'd lose them to frostbite.

one night we made little cabbage pies from a russian recipe. they turned out great. but there were over 20 of them. for easter we dyed eggs but couldn't find any food coloring. so we tried some natural dyes as suggested by some website, beets and curry did not work. but ribena did. yay for ribena.
