Our final day (morning, really) was the first cold day. It was about 5°c outside, and fortunately not raining. Oh, to have this weather for the whole trip – I could have worn my snow boots a lot more. My Copenhagen trips used to follow to set formula for the last day: Lazy long breakfast Wander … More Christmas in Copenhagen – back to reality
