Copenhagen, Denmark One last walk around Copenhagen punctuated by many stops: -Early on, for coffee in the sun on a pedestrian street near the library. -At Nyhavn to photograph the over-photographed canal houses and boats, visit Trine Fournais pottery shop, and use the cleanest public bathroom I've ever seen. -On the Inderhavnsbroen new bike- and footbridge across the harbour to admire the view and the architecture. -At an exhibit by Faroese painter Anker Mortensen. -To eat a picnic lunch harbourside and watch people jumping in to swim. This is amazing for a couple of reasons - for one, the Baltic Sea is very, very cold in May! For two, it's wonderful that the water is clean enough for swimming in this inner city harbour, due to Copenhagen's commitment to being a "green city". -At the graffitti- and art-filled alternative autonomous community (i.e. anarchist commune) of Freetown Christiana, on the edge of the upscale island neighbourhood of Christianshavn, to people-watch on Pusher Street. -On several canal-side benches along the way, to rest my cobblestoned feet. Location: Downtown & Christianshavn, Copenhagen, Denmark
