Dragør
On Saturday, Mischa, Stef, and I biked to the southern part of Amager to the cute little coastal town of Dragør. It's NOT pronounced at all like the way you'd think it would be pronounced, so don't even try. It was a 15 km (ish) bike ride there and it took us about an hour.
First, we climbed on top of these fortresses to get a view of the ocean. It was a super windy day.
Then we parked our bikes inside the town center and went for a little walk. It's honestly the cutest, most quaint little town that I've ever seen. It's a very old place and all the houses are painted sunshine yellow. The narrow cobblestone streets tell a story of their own.
We stepped inside a little coffee shop for a little pick-me-up before embarking on the hour long journey home. Hot chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles really does the trick on a windy day.
On the way home, the chain on Stef's bike fell off about 6 or 7 times. So we kept stopping and going and stopping. It was pretty frustrating! Mischa got his hands all dirty, but it was no use. We finally gave up and took turns pulling Stef along on the bicycle. It was hard work, but at least she got a free ride.
Having a good bicycle in proper working order is so important for getting around Copenhagen.
About a month ago, my chain started being really stupid and kept on slipping. So Stefan came over last week and helped me fix it. He sort of took it apart and positioned the wheel back more. I don't really understand what he did, but I'm just glad it works.
I'm back to riding : )
