DAY 114, SATURDAY, MAY 4TH
Started today with breakfast with my host family. After breakfast I headed out and met my cousin for lunch! My cousin, Laura, studied here 5 or so years ago so her and her friend from study abroad are coming back to Copenhagen for the first time since!! We met for brunch at a cafe and it was so nice to catch up! After brunch we did some walking and some shopping. Eventually they headed home for a nap and I headed back home to work on my paper I have due Monday. Can’t wait to be done with this paper!
DAY 115, SUNDAY, MAY 5TH
Laura & her friend are in town again today + my friend Abhi, from William & Mary is visiting Copenhagen for the next couple days as well! I met Abhi in the morning and we did some walking around city center- showed him Nyhavn, Rosenborg, Strøget, etc. (all the main sights) and we grabbed lunch in the Glass Market (food hall type deal) and had FANTASTIC tacos. After that we got some delicious milkshakes before we headed to the round tower & went up that before going to the little mermaid statue. We also went to the genetically modified little mermaid which is a statue nearby with some interesting commentary. After that we headed to Reffen to meet back up with my cousin, it is the coolest food area! It’s a whole bunch of food & drink stands built into old shipping containers.
DAY 116, MONDAY, MAY 6TH
Woke up today and FINALLY finished up my paper before heading to class to turn it in. After turning it in (and eating some cake provided by my professor)
I met my cousin and her friend at a brewery and sat and chatted for a while. They went to get dinner with their Danish RA from when they studied abroad here & I went to get dinner with Abhi! We got some delicious & cheap Thai food, and then walked around for a bit. We headed down to more harbor area, found some trampolines & got an awesome sunset an Nyhavn before parting ways.
DAY 117, TUESDAY, MAY 7TH
Today I met up with my cousin & her friend to get a fantastic brunch! After brunch we went giant hunting and found 2 of the 6 forgotten giants that I haven’t been to before. That took most of the morning and then we headed to a couple breweries before getting dinner. We went to Mother which a very popular pizza place- it was delicious!!
DAY 118, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8TH
My cousin’s friend left this morning but my my cousin is around until the afternoon! We met up in the morning to go to Skt. Peter’s Bakeri to get the famous onsdagssnegl, they were delicious as always. After eating we walked to black diamond library to take a peak and enjoy the harbor-side. After that we walked to Church of Our Savior and climbed all the way up to the top! Pretty crazy that we could climb all the way up to the tippy top! Super fun, great weather, and great views!
After that we headed to Illum- a great Danish store, got a juice and shopped for a bit. Eventually Laura headed to her airbnb to head out while I headed home and worked on my paper due tomorrow.
DAY 119, THURSDAY, MAY 9TH
Woke up this morning to do a bunch of laundry and finish up my paper! My last paper for junior year!!! I am now 3/4 done with college!!! I went in to the city around 1 to do some shopping and hang out around the city. Around 6 PM, 5 of my friends and I who all met in my core course went go-boating! You rent a boat for an hour or two, and can take it out in the harbor/canals, and you can bring some food and drink to enjoy! It was super fun, and we were so lucky to end up getting great whether. It was our last event all together so definitely bittersweet. After boating, some of us headed to Reffen for dinner before heading home.
DAY 120, FRIDAY, MAY 10TH
Woke up and headed to brunch with two of my friends from my homestay network! Went to mad & kaffe - so good!! This was my last event with them before we all head home! After breakfast we did some shopping and then walked through Christiania a bit!
Eventaully it was time to go home and get packed up! I had my last dinner with just me and my host parents before my parents come into town tomorrow! My host family got me the sweetest gifts and it was so weird thinking that this semester is almost over.
