Christmas 2018 - Copenhagen & Malmö


We kicked off our seven (yes, SEVEN) week vacation with an early flight to Copenhagen. Non-eventful, until we got on the train to take us into the city, where Emre turned into a monster! After doing so in Barcelona, he wanted to "drive" the automated train and ended up kicking daddy where it hurts in front of a trainful of people! Not a great way to start! Anyways, throughout the rest of the first leg of the trip Emre alternated from behaving really well to being really difficult! Kids!



Laleinia and I both really loved Copenhagen. It is very calm, quite beautiful, and without anything super exciting it is just really nice. We really enjoyed Nyhavn and the Church of our Lady, which were the highlights, along with the national museum, but other than that we spent a lot of time wandering around as we usually do.



We visited Church of our Lady twice. It is such a beautiful and simple church which contains the Christus and statues of the twelve apostles. Really beautiful. Emre took a few pictures in the church too!



We both spent quite a bit of time running too. Lain and I have been training and running a lot over the last few months. I plotted out some routes on Strava and ran three times in four days. Laleinia went on a 21km run, Emre and I met up with her at one point to give her water and take her jacket as she was a little warmer than she expected, even though it was far from being warm outside!




We also took the bus and spent the day in Malmö, which is across a long bridge in Sweden. We didn't have great weather, it was raining pretty much the entire time, but we ate a kebab and spent time walking around a park and then headed to the museum of modern art. To be honest, the museum was very underwhelming. Most of it was old portrait pictures, not modern at all, and the rest was... well... modern art, which to me (untrained and uncultured maybe) is pretty useless. For example, a pile of material / cloth with a crab sat on top... I don't get it. Glad the museum was free!
