Copenhagen

 Hey guys,

I took a little trip to Denmark earlier this month  to visit some friends. It was nice to be able to get away (even if it was just a long weekend) after a jam packed summer full of work. I was travelling with another friend and we had a lot of fun checking out the nightlife, eating good food and of course, shopping! I finally managed to upload the pictures (silly me, I lost the camera cable and only after buying a card reader I discovered that my laptop has a built in card reader.... oh well) and you can expect more photo posts in the near future.

 

Took this photo on the first night. A library in downtown Copenhagen

Yep that´s me, burgundy overload lady. I can see a theme here: burgundy and blue

On the last day we visited Torvehallerne, which is a big indoor market with food (my heaven), all kinds of handmade products like candles and soaps. A wonderful way to end the trip as I know nothing better than on a weekend than a food market/farmer´s market.

That´s one of the reasons I love visiting my family in France: every weekend there is a farmer´s market.

There was a small cupcake bakery/café with beautiful cupcakes in all kinds of flavours.

 

 

Dried fruit and nut

 

 

This booth sold french confections - my favourite being their cellophane wrapped wedges of nougat, in different kinds of flavours.

 

Charcuterie - this guy was selling salami, patés and various meat products

 

 

 

My favourite booth - they had a lot of french cheeses that you can´t find in Iceland ( No un pasteurized cheeses allowed into the country)

I had such a wonderful time, and I only wish I could have stayed longer and taken more pictures.

My camera memory chip filled up with pictures and unfortunatly I didn´t have a backup.

Copenhagen is a wonderful place to visit, there is so much going on there and many exciting places to see.

I  will post my favourite places in Copenhagen soon!

I want to get away..

I don´t know why but come fall I always start craving a getaway from everyday life.
 It just  seems stupid to me to leave Iceland during those precious few months when we actually have daylight, so my ideal summer is spent traveling around my beautiful country as much as possible. However my ideal fall/winter would be spent traveling to interesting cities and faraway beaches(preferrably with a cocktail in hand).
 When I start thinking about traveling my mind automatically wanders off to Paris. In my heart Paris is (and always will be) like  my second home and I discover something new each time I go there. Maybe it is because I have family roots in France or maybe this admiration of the city of love is built upon fond memories from my time spent there as a child. No matter the reason I always look forward to going back "home".
Unfortunately I have no trip to Paris planned for the near future, but in a little more than a week I will be in Copenhagen, paying a long overdue visit to some friends. Can´t wait!
