One last day

This morning we found a bakery with smaller Danish so Owen could try more variety. But both of us still find our favorite to be the sesame/poppyseed/ buttery, light with a hint of sweetness. I need to find out if I can bring these home on the plane... What better treat for Justin and Laurel than a Danish made by the Danish?

Many good trips have some sort of theme... Some people visit stadiums at each city, others focus on fine museums... One of my favorite themes is microbrews but not so interesting to a ten year old. As I look back on this trip I would say it was somewhat of a sweets and treats theme. While we were on the night train our Swedish roommates said that while they do not have Swedish fish, they do have some of the best candy in the world. Owen and I had to look into this for ourselves so we took a short train ride to Malmo Sweeden in search of the perfect candy. We were not disappointed when we got there and saw just about every shape and flavor of gummy candy. My favorite shape were these tiny monkeys. Owen really liked the tennis ball gum and mushroom marshmallows.

When we got back to Copenhagen we had one "must do" left on Owen's list. He really wanted to get a bike to ride around this bike-loving place. We walked over to the tourist place to get a place to go. The. We walked about a mile to the place suggested. He told us there were not any child-sized bikes left. Who would think a place filled with bikes would have so few rentals? Owen was really disappointed but I told him it is always good to leave something for the trip back. We managed to find a positive side by coming across a really cool park that we never would have enjoyed if we were on a bike. Then we leisurely walked around the pedestrian area and enjoyed street performers and people watching.

This photo was one of our last stops. We passed the station of Hans Christian Anderson daily but this time Owen hopped up on his lap. Time to pack up now and head back to the states- a quick stop in NJ to change bags and then off to Colorado!
