Well, we finally got our luggage about 5 minutes before midnight on Monday, which was a HUGE relief. Since I now had some more clothes, I was finally able to go for a morning run in Copenhagen before breakfast.
I love to explore new places on the run and it was awesome to run through this fabulous city. I started out in the Ørestad area and ran 2.5-miles down Ørestad Blvd. to the edge of the downtown area and back for a total of 5-miles. Most of this route was on a crushed gravel path running beside the street, which is just about the best surface you can hope for. It was neat to pass hundreds of bikes with people going to work. Many of them were dressed in full business attire.
Let me just say that I fell in love with Copenhagen, and I wish we had more time to explore this great city. It is very clean, the people are ridiculously friendly, and it is stunningly beautiful. Most of the buildings are fairly short (there is no “skyline”) and are a mixture of very old and very modern. I also love that it is on the water with lots of waterways and harbors. Also it is a huge plus that almost everyone speaks fluent English.
