Travel Tales: Copenhagen Day 4 – And Like That…
So today I figure I try the last vegetarian place on the only list I made for my trip (the one that was closed yesterday). Allegedly they serve food there and also sell soy products. I felt extra extra today because it was the first real sunny day I have seen since landing. I trekked all the way to the magical veggie store around 11am (normal start time here) only to find out that there is no hot food served (“um, we have bread”) only a subpar grocery experience to be had. So curses to that and I go about my way to the Zoo, after stopping to buy Apple Juice – figured I play it safe after the liquid sugar incident – and some muffins for breakfast. I do my tourist stop off “um, how do I get to the zoo? and how much is it” then wrassle up some change for the bus.

Travel Tales: Denmark Day 2 – Cruising in Copenhagen
(you are not crazy. i didn’t write a post for Day 1) So off I go to explore Copenhagen on a Sunday. One thing I learned from yesterday is that you will not find a dearth of options for open stores on Sunday aside from Church and eateries. The first stop was of course to get some breakfast. The list of vegetarian options is much much more limited than in Reykjavik – somewhat surprised since this is a larger area. My breakfast (pictured below) was okay as it lacked on taste and spices that I am used to tasting. The white substance to the bottom of the plate is scrambled tofu absent flavor as you may have guessed from the white color. All in all- the entire meal was satisfying (I didn’t touch the middle bread as it had a little too much healthy going on with seeds, nuts and such) as it had a smoothie and two of my favorite fruits – ruby red grapefruit and pineapple.
Next stop was to see some sites in town. The plan was to find a City bike to get around on as you can rent one for 20 kroner, which you get back when you return the bike. (more…)
