Went to the zoo with an Australian couple, Jamie and Soph. The zoo was better than most, but the animals were in small enough enclosures that it was depressing. After the zoo we took the train into town, and walked to the Rundentaarn, a circular tower off one of the pedestrian streets. We climbed the spiral ramp inside the tower, admired the view of old Copenhagen, and then decided we deserved ice cream.
After the tower we went to the Christiana district. This was weird. one minute we're walking through Copenhagen, then we turn a corner, and it feels like we're in some third world village. There're wrecked cars, old matresses, dogs, and chickens. Weirder there are stalls selling all different varieties and forms of pot. Everyone on the street is stoned. Fantastic graphitti art. signs everywhere saying no photos. All illegal. We had a beer, and someone(s) other than me may have had a cookie.
On the way home we stoped in at a couple stores for supplies, and back at the hostel with a little team work, the three of us had a fantastic pasta dinner. After dinner it was the movie Coneheads with Danish subtitles. Then relatively early to bed.
