Copenhagen to Molle - Day 9

After taking 2 Benadryl, I slept really well! My legs were still swollen and broken out, but we went out anyway, after a third trip to the Apoteket. Thankfully, we had a different worker each time, otherwise they would have thought we were really crazy. I did some internet research about my hives and discovered I needed to take some Zantac. Once I got some Zantac, the swelling went down and the hives got much better!

We went back to the tourist information shop to get directions for taking transit out to the area where most of the new architecture projects are located. We knew we needed to minimize walking, but their transit system/maps are impossible! We took two different trains and then got out and walked around so Ben could take some pictures. Most of the really cool things we saw are housing projects. They design and build much better housing here! Some of the projects we saw…

This is a gym with interesting color/letter panels.





After touring this area, we rode the train back to the Stroget to do some shopping. We stopped in some department stores and boutiques to look around, but didn’t buy much other than a surprise for Mattie! I also found a stuffed dachshund in a children’s shop that the shopkeeper said a local lady handmade. We stopped in a bakery called Cakes la Glace to get a treat. It was very good but also very busy! Some people sitting next to us asked us if we were from Canada. Ha! I forgot to mention that it rained most of the day and our table neighbors said it has rained a lot this year in Copenhagen.

Cakes la Glace...a little out of focus! I accidentally uploaded the wrong photo and am too lazy to fix it!

After our snack break, we walked back by a beer store so Ben could get some beer to bring home. We walked back to our car, which wasn’t too far away and took off for Molle, which is a coastal Swedish town about a 2-hour drive from Copenhagen. It was a much easier drive than our previous excursions!

We spent the night at the Grand Hotel in Molle, which is situated at the top of the hillside on the harbour. Our room and view were beautiful! We had dinner in the hotel a la carte restaurant Seaside. Our server was really nice, but spoke to us in Swedish. I told her English, please, and she laughed and said “but you look so Swedish!” Ha! Anyway, our dinner was very good. Molle seemed to be a summer resort town for wealthy people from Sweden and Denmark. There were lots of really nice cars and wealthy looking people. After our 2.5 hour dinner, it was time for bed again!
