coffee, store kongensgade ( http://www.pbchokolade.dk/gb/ ) and watching the interesting crow walking by.
hartogsohn antik ( http://hartogsohn.dk/ ), one of the old and very fine antik shops in copenhagen, still going strong.
in her shop, ira harttogsohn, the owner and daughter of the founder ketti hartogsohn. i have visited the shop many times, always a good smell of the old days. good people to deal with.
lunch at akvavitten ( http://www.akvavitten.dk/english), met with michael von essen, the grey eminence of georg jensen's antique department for more that 40 years , he retired some years ago. he is indeed greatly missed in the community of the truly georg jensen admirers. he knew everything plus.
akvavit served from the right
akvavit was served from the left.
in all fairness, i should mention, michael got one small akvavit only, i got the sample akvavit menu, just a drop of home made akvavit in each of the 5 glasses, excellent.
coffee, the lovely serving angle, her name is hellemai accepted to be on the picture, thank you.
michael von essen, leaving lunch on bike as a true dane of to day.
lunch at st. annae (http://www.restaurantsanktannae.dk/en/ ) with anne ammitzboel who designed independently for georg jensen in the years ( 1980's ) when andreas mikkelsen was head of the design team for georg jensen. i have known anne for many years, and the luncheon, a great idea, thanks for spending some time with me, you are good company.
anne ammitzboel in her studio. she still comes up with new design projects, and always did and always will.
on the way from hellerup to copenhagen, a lovely nice size bottle of beer, need big glasses!
just a lovely pieceful street in the heart of copenhagen
zoll antiques, store kongensgade 77, kim with a welcoming smile. he took over from his grandfather and changed the display, so now it is actually possible to walk around in the shop and see everything. kim is working with his computer on line, and a the same time is the shop open for the public, good concept. good job and good luck kim.
crossing knibbelsbro ( possible somebody lives in the house )
coffee shop on the go in copenhagen.
a couple of steps down, and before you reached the counter, a glass of cold rose' is poured, i like that kind of service. brand new wine bar in copenhagen, specializing in german wine.
this is the bike loving city. a great detail, an iron track when rolling your bike down the stairs, not bad to be a bike here.
a glass of expensive white wine, relaxing, enjoying the view to the government building christiansborg and as well the canal. good to be here.
in aarhus. city hall, designed by arne jacobsen 1941. skovmoellen, a great place for lunch, really like in the old days ( http://www.skovmoellen-femmoeller.dk/ ). den gamle by, the old town museum ( https://www.dengamleby.dk/the-old-town/ ), a lovely beer-tasting, strong stuff, the baker shop plus an exhibition of silver from hingelberg as well in the old town museum.
spend some time in aarhus, you will like and aarhus will like it too.
now, the last stop before flying back to new york, outside of aalborg in limfjorden, on a tiny island egeholm, 5 minutes on ferry, you will need a guide to get to this fab. rest called kronborg ( http://kronborg-egholm.dk/forside.aspx ), well they have a website, so it must be within the civilation.
what a final. already on the plain. thanks for following to the end.
