Copenhagen, Denmark (pt 1)

I took a bus from Gothenburg to Copenhagen with Flixbus and it took 5 hours.  We had a brief stop in Malmö and in the 20 minutes we had, I quickly checked online for some monuments near the bus stop.  I found that there was a colorful monument nearby, so I walked there, took some photos and went back to the bus.  It was much better than just sitting on the bus the whole time.  Once I got to Copenhagen I relaxed and then walked around a lake nearby and enjoyed the sunset.  Unfortunately, the next day was very grey, cloudy and rainy.  Luckily, I found some museums that had free entry on Wednesdays.  I met with some couchsurfers and went to the museums.  After the museums we went to the Copenhagen Food Court and tried a lot of different delicious samples.  Then we walked to Christiania.  Christiania is actually a freetown where there aren't many rules.  People can do what they want and freely buy and sell many things that isn't legal in other places.  It was a truly unique place to see.

Brunch, Free Public Sauna and walk around (Gothenburg, Sweden)

My friend only really had time to go to brunch on Sunday, so I joined her with her friends for an all you can eat brunch with a lot of typical Swedish food.  The food was great.  After brunch I walked around the city and went to the free public sauna.  It kind of looked like a robot.  This time everyone had to wear a swimsuit. It felt much more comfortable this time around.  The view from the sauna was great.  The next day, I walked around the city to the places I hadn't seen yet.  I went to a great view point and got to see the whole city.  The blue skies really made a difference and the city looked great.  Then I went to the fish market and got some salmon.  The smoked salmon was delicious!!!!  I wish I could have some right now!!!!  Afterwards I saw an art piece that I have seen in Cape Town, the twisted gun.  To end the day I walked around the lake near my friend's house.  I had a great time in Gothenburg.
