Angela and I found a café right in the middle of Nørreport that is slightly more expensive than the cheapest cafes but very cozy. Even though it’s at the heart of the city, it wasn’t very full, and the hot chocolate was amazing.
Angela and I also ordered our drinks in Danish. I’m pretty sure the lady thought we were crazy, but we got our hot chocolates!
In the late afternoon, we took a three-hour bus tour put on by the International Office. It was very cold, but interesting. After we got to the queen’s palaces and after being told “you can now look around” and we all headed straight for the bus instead, we remained in the bus for the last hour, hour and a half, which made us sleepy but definitely better than freezing. Most of the sites Angela and I had seen before, because the tour was more designed for the people who hadn’t taken the introductory Danish course and had just arrived a few days before; however, it was good to learn more details about the places we’d been, and it’s so pretty anyway that it doesn’t matter seeing them again and again. Plus, I learned that the queen’s birthday is on April 16, and she comes outside and waves to the crowds below. I think it’s fairly safe to say what I’ll be doing April 16.
Vor Frue Kirke
Poor girl, she looked so cold! I guess she'll warm up plenty in China.
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the snow but that day, seeing how Copenhagen does not really know how to handle such large amounts of snow for extended periods and leaves it to turn into slush on the sidewalks and the Metro was horribly crowded because no one could ride their bikes – I realized I was ready for it to be less cold. I’ve finally reached my breaking point with winter, but, alas, I’ve heard it’s supposed to be like this through March. Though, perhaps, the snow will melt.
