Like I mentioned yesterday, on our way to McDonalds, we saw a promising-looking street lined with shops and cafes and decided to explore it today because most of it was closed yesterday evening.
Well.
I can't believe we had almost missed this! Had it not been for dear old McDonalds we would not have come across this at all. When we were on the red bus, there definitely was a mention of this street, but I believe it happened somewhere on the opposite, far end of the street because it had seemed like a long way away from our hotel. So we were not planning to explore that at all. But thanks to our brilliant stroke of luck, we discovered this gem, just a few 100 metres from our hotel! Yay!
So Stroget occupied us the entire day.
The entire freaking day.
Because there were too many shops, too many cafes, too many artists performing (my favourite was a painter who was making paintings of a celestial theme with some insanely innovative ways of using paints and scraps of paper!), too many people and dogs and sights to be observed. We walked and walked and walked even found ourselves right back in Tivoli! Amazing!
We enjoyed our time there so much that in the evening we went back there for another walk, all the time thanking our luck that we came across it before too late!
So yes, Strøget took our entire day, including lunch (which for me consisted of some really good prawn "sticks").
For dinner, we went back to an Asian place, this time Chinese. The food there was average unlike the Thai place where we went previously but what was most amusing was the little one's excitement. She was in such a laughing, squealing, beaming mood that even the stone-faced sulky Chinese waitress had to crack open and smile broadly. Before we knew it, we found her happily feeding crackers to the little one!
It was a fabulous day, thanks to Strøget, a major landmark in Copenhagen. The commentator on the red bus had mentioned that Copenhagen is such a city where you think you have seen it all but will actually keep surprising you with more and more discoveries.
Amen to that!
Well.
It turned out that this "promising looking" street was part of Strøget, the longest pedestrian street in the world! How awesome!
