Completely different vibe at “Grandma’s.” I think the name (and the following photos) says it all.

The prices are a little high, I paid a little more than forty crowns for a Chai Latte (Vs less than 30 in most cafes) and 25 DKK for a scone. But it is the Nyhavn/Amalienborg district (just two steps from Marmor Kirken), the tourists area by excellence, by the way Grandma also sells souvenirs!

Ahlefeldtsgade 27-29 (au coin de Nansensgade), 1359 København K
Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 24:00 – Weekends and holiday from 10:30 to 24:00

Regular prices but absurd and bizarre atmosphere, I’ll let you judge. We went there late a Monday evening so we can’t say there were a lot of people. However, two Danes approached us saying something like “wow this is nice,” I suspected they were not talking about me but I was sufficiently confused by the fact that DANES HAVE SPOKEN TO ME! They were actually interested in my tattoo, they threw a look and discussed two minutes. Note to self: only wear tank tops all winter to make friends!

Website.

To sum-up, in 1962 five Viking ships were discovered in Roskilde Fjord, 5 different types. After some physics and scientific magic, they were removed, restored, and a museum was built just for them. So actually in the museum there is not lot of things to see, just these boats, a film of about ten minutes on the discovery, a temporary bonus exhibition, and some activities to keep adults and children busy (if you can go when the weather is good it’s better).

Ok like that, it does not look like much.

The famous boats.

You can play as dressing up like a Viking.

Fleur is more fun than me.

It’s nicer on the other side ^^

Wikipedia my friend: “The first Gothic cathedral to be built of brick, it encouraged the spread of the Brick Gothic style throughout Northern Europe.
The cathedral has been the main burial site for Danish monarchs since the 15th century.”

Roskilde

To avoid an extensive post I cut this in 3 separate ones. Almost only pictures because I’m in a hurry to make up time and get to today ^ ^

Fleur and I spent a day in Roskilde to visit the Viking Ships Museum and the Cathedral (future posts).
The city is cute and gave a little Holiday atmosphere 🙂.

We crossed the cemetery:

It was mandatory that Fleur tasted Kanelsnegl before returning to France 🙂.
