Day 6: 8/1: Back to Copenhagen

      Last full day in Copenhagen today. We were pretty beat from the bike trip so for better or worse, the day started rather lated at ~10:15 with returning our bikes and doing the run back out to the parks near the canal. It was 60ish and rainy/humid, which actually made for great running, if not a lot else. We started out together and then split, individually both get turned around a bit, but ultimately had a good run.

    The plan was to do laundry today, but after getting back a little after noon, we scrapped that plan and instead headed for some Danish hotdogs in the center of town with all the rest of the tourists. Walked past Nyhavn, which is what all the post cards have a picture of. Just about everybody was down there taking a picture, so we snapped one or two with the crowds and then didn't bother walking the stretch with the density making it painfully slow.

     Next up to the Round Tower which is the oldest continuously functioning observatory in Europe. Christian the IV made it after Tycho past. It's one of the taller buildings in the old part of the city and a revolving ramp the whole way up. Also quite busy, but still fun to check out.

     We mailed our post cards next to find that each one costs ~5ish dollars to send. Pretty eye watering and had I known that from the get go, I would have sent significantly less or none.

     Walked back to our place from there and took a short break before heading to War Pigs, which is a well-known brewery only 2 blocks from our place. They have done collaborations with 3-Floyds before; which we can find in our liquor stores in MN. We each got a beer and played a game of cribbage, which we had yet to do this trip.

     After waffling quite a bit on dinner, we ended up at the fish and chips place literally a couple doors down from our Airbnb. Kate had the salmon burger and I had the fish and chips. Both good and fairly cheap.

     We had wanted a proper dessert for a while, so we search up a Desserthuset maybe a mile or 1.5 miles away, only to find it closed. There was another one maybe another mile away, so we ultimately rented bikes again and headed up to it. They offer absolutely decadent shakes that were pricy, but split worthy. It was a pretty good experience and worth the extra trek to chase it down.

     It wasn't a jam-packed last day in terms of museums or tourist attractions, but it was another fun day hanging out in a great city.
