A Big Trip to Europe - Next Stop Copenhagen

I'm still in catch up mode from a series of old posts. This is still going back to June, and I'm about to head to Europe again next week. So much to catch up on. 

The next stop on my trip was a couple of days in Denmark. One of our Partners met me at the airport and we drove up to Fredensborg, about 30 minutes north of Copenhagen. We had an afternoon meeting at their office, and then he dropped me off at my hotel - the only one in town really. 

The town is also home to Fredensborg Palace, the summer palace of the Danish Royal Family. They weren't home, so you could wander the grounds and enjoy the amazing scenery. I went for a run around the palace grounds before  meeting Torben for dinner, which was amazing.

I spent the night at the great old hotel, and then we had some meetings the next day down in Copenhagen. The meetings were very productive, and afterwards Torben dropped me off at my hotel near the train station. I spent the evening wandering Copenhagen, before heading to the airport the next morning for my flight to Nice where I was spending the weekend.

Fredensborg Store Kro - the hotel was built in 1723, and was a lovely place to spend the night.

The rooms were charming.

The long driveway up to Fredensborg Palace. The gates were open as the Royal Family was away.

As I walked around the grounds, these little birds were everywhere.

A long path up from the lake, out front of the palace.

A map of the run I did around the palace grounds the next morning.

This cool boathouse was on the lake, near the end of my run.

A nice view out over the lake, during my run.

A great outdoor bar across the road from my hotel in downtown Copenhagen. It's one of my favorite cities in Europe.
