Free Ride to the City

This weekend we were pretty lazy, but decided to something on Sunday to spice things up.
The first 3 Sundays of December the S-tog or commuter trains are free all day long. It is a Christmas Gift from the company to the people. We thought of 100 places we could go, but in the end, we ended up going to Copenhagen for the day. We went to a coffee shop and got some coffee to walk around with. The streets were PACKED with people. Usually everything is closed on Sundays, but because of Christmas, everything is open and the city was hoppin'. After walked around for about 2 hours we started to head back to the train to go home and took the long way through Nyhavn. Every year Nyhavn has a Christmas Market. It is always cute and charming. We have never really stopped to look at the little places selling stuff, because it is mostly stuff we aren't so interested in. Some stalls have lots of kids stuff, others sell jewelry, others sell clothes. Last year though, we stopped and bough crapes and one of the stands and it was GOOOOOD. :)

After Nyhavn we headed to a little path way that stretches along the waterfront. I couldn't believe how many people were out walking here either. It is usually quite with just a few people when we walk this path.

It was barely 4:00 pm when we took this picture!!

Then we hopped back on the train and came back to Lyngby. Ever since we spent the day in the city when we went to Tivoli for Halloween, when we get back home we both feel awful. I think it is because we have been in the cold all day long and then our bodies start to warm up??? I don't know, but I DO know...after Paris, I am hibernating inside until February.
