Ingrid and Nick were flying out of Copenhagen the next morning. I was headed back to Skaelskor but before we parted we had pizza and beer again. I cannot imagine my time in Denmark with out them and Jen.



The Danish have a great parking window system. You are allowed to only park for a specified amount of time. In the window of cars is a clock on it you show the time you arrived. If you falsify your time its a $500 fine.


We had the most amazing pizza from this little shop that sold it by the slice. The bread was unlike any I have ever eaten. It was served folded in half wrapped in paper.


We visited the world famous Royal Copehagen porcelain show room.





There's a big election about to take place and all over Copenhagen ther are political posters. A group of artist has taken some of these posters and altered them and then rehung them. In hindsight I wish I would have taken some of these but with my luck I would get accused of putting them up.





Here are various pics of Copenhagen.





Here are the doors to other artists rooms I could not get into.





After breakfast I decided to see what the rest of the hotel looked like and found a couple open for cleaning. The first room is by a Swiss artist named Benjamin Gudel and the second by Australian artists Pandarosa.




Wednesday morning we headed down to the lobby of the hotel for our free breakfast. It was quite tasty. As we were eating a couple came down and sat right across from us and I am 99.9% sure it was Tommy Hilfiger. They were talking very softly as to not draw attention. At one point Tommy went to the two turn tables and pretended to be a DJ. We looked at each other and he smiled. You be the judge.




To end our evening off right we searched for a cool bar. Its funny, wherever you go in the world there is always some annoying guy trying to talk to women who want nothing to do with them.


From the $18 gin and tonic we moved onto our $9 beers and Thai food.



Random store windows. The first shot is from a vintage clothing store. The second image is from a tattoo shop. It seems Barbie has given into her dark side. The last is a beauty shop.


Our feet were rather tired so we decided to have a pre-dinner cocktail. I present to you my $18 gin and tonic. It was good but it wasn't $18 good. We only had one and moved on.



On our gallery tour saw the work of a local Danish artist who creates custom vinyl albums which you are invited to play.



We visited several galleries one which featured the work of a recent grad. His new piece looks familiar but the context throws you off. Behind the walls he has mounted giant cooling coils which cause frost to form on the walls. The forms are constantly evolving.
