French Madame in Denmark - Part II

Carrot Cake with Mascarpone & Hot Chocolate

Copenhagen

After the long shopping street, we were searching for a place to sit and indulge
in our sweet tooth and we found the perfect hot spot to relax and stare
politely look at Danish men.

I ordered a carrot cake which was the most amazing, incredibly spiced cake!
And a hot chocolate called varm chokolade in Danish.

We took a taxi boat to go from one place to another, and these are the sights
I spotted from the boat:

The Museum of National History, Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark


Like the Netherlands, Denmark is a country where everybody bikes so I loved
seeing a Dutch bike in Copenhagen:

Another random gorgeous building. A museum perhaps?

Though I've learned that Danes are not religious, they do have some impressive
churches. This is the Church of Our Savior. You can walk all the way to the top.

At the end of our day in Copenhagen, we visited the psychology faculty and
dined & danced the night away. All in all, a perfect day in Copenhagen! ♥

Copenhagen University


The Danish countryside in Rødby, Lolland:

At the congress, each European country participating served traditional
food & drink of their own country. We served Gouda cheese, oranje bitter drink,
and stroopwafels (caramel-filled waffle cookies) which everyone went crazy for!

We wore red, white & blue flag dresses which men everyone seemed to enjoy.

"Another random gorgeous building" is: "Statens Museum for Kunst" (National Gallery of Denmark) :)

Those Danish bikes look so cool. I don't know what it is (maybe the style and build?) but it makes me giggle. And the food looks so delicious!! Yumm :)

You do know that those are the Luxembourg flags you wore as dresses and not the French flag....right?

Actually, those are Dutch flags (since we're from the Netherlands). The flag from Luxembourg has a lighter shade of blue.
