Onwards to part two of our day of hire-bike adventures (we really did a lot that day - no wonder we all woke up feeling like a truck had hit us). Ordrupgaard conveniently sits just below Jægersborg Dyrehave, a mad deer park that is home to over 2,000 deer. It was a beautiful afternoon to be careering around Dyrehaven, and … Continue reading Jægersborg Dyrehave

Op til Ordrupgaard
The festival of Anna and Steve continues in this post - we must have packed a lot into a week, because it's making me exhausted just writing about it. No trip to Copenhagen would be complete without hooning around the place on bikes. With one day left of forecast sunshine (or at least not rain), we grabbed some … Continue reading Op til Ordrupgaard
Mere Møn biltur
Having shaken off any remaining bird lice from Nyord, it's onwards to days two and three of our Møn road trip. We headed east for a day of hiking around the cliffs and forests of Møns Klint. Our first aim was to scale Timmesøbjerg to see the oldest beech trees in Denmark. This hill was apparently used as … Continue reading Mere Møn biltur
Tilbage til Nyord
While Anna and Steve were in Copenhagen we took a few days to head out of town and see a bit more of Denmark. There is only one real solution when the sole planning restriction is 'low cost', and that is primitive shelters. Hurrah! After stocking up on nutritious car snacks (aka chips 'med dill' and … Continue reading Tilbage til Nyord
Første dage i københavn
Visitor season is well and truly underway! Last week my lillesøster and her kæreste took some time out of their busy schedule of Oxford balls and lazing by Spanish pools to come get some free accommodation see us because they are missing us terribly. These guys were in town for a whole week, and had already been to Copenhagen a few years … Continue reading Første dage i københavn
Kastrup Søbad
A few weeks ago we biked south east to Amager Strand to check out some more swimming options. It's a bit depressing going over these photos, because it hasn't exactly been swimming weather in the last few weeks, but who knows - maybe this post will shame the Danish summer into making another half-hearted appearance. Amager is a reasonably … Continue reading Kastrup Søbad
Nogle kulturelle arrangementer
The last few weeks have brought with them a few interesting seasonal events. June 23, the night before midsummer, is celebrated here as Sankt Hans Aften (St John's Eve). It falls around the solstice, so it's a good excuse to be out celebrating while the days are longest, ahead of the slow descent back into winter darkness. Usually … Continue reading Nogle kulturelle arrangementer
En viking liv for mig
As promised - rigtig vigtigt: Viking edition (or more accurately, Viking ship edition). Our lovely guests only had one demand during their stay - to visit the Viking Ships Museum (Vikingeskibs Museet) in Roskilde. I will go to a Viking museum at the drop of a hat, so we were happy to oblige. The museum is about an hour west of Copenhagen on … Continue reading En viking liv for mig
