Hellerup on the free S-Train





Hello Everyone! Sorry it's been a while since my last post... I've been really busy and a lot is going on in my life right now! I don't know if I'll be able to get to everything but now I want to blog a bit about the first Sunday of the month here in Denmark. First Sunday of the month you can ride the S-Train for free. This is pretty cool considering public transport is a bit on the expensive side here. Hellerup is just north of Copenhagen but is also considered part of the "greater Copenhagen area". It is considered one of the richest places in Denmark, and has lots of Marinas (Havn in Danish). It also is home to Tuborg and has quite a few breweries in the area. So anyway, we took the S-Train from Lyngby Station to Hellerup, which is only 2 zoner, which isn't that much money we saved. (Each 2 zoner klip is around 13 Kroners, for both of us comes out to be 52 kroner, or around 10 bucks). I wanted to go to Copenhagen cause it's about 4 zones I believe. But I've already been there a lot already and I wanted to see something new! Hellerup was definitely a nice area, and reminds me a lot of the suburbs. It was nice seeing it in the cold believe it or not, it had a nice atmosphere to it. Danny and I ate a really nice lunch in a cafe called Ovså in the local mall. We had a really nice lunch and I ordered this brunch which had a bunch of different toppings to put on bread like laks, sausages, egg, chicken, cheeses, jam, yogurt, and so on. It was really nice and it wasn't that expensive (for Denmark that is). Overall, it was a lot of fun! Pretty cold- but I managed with the coat that Danny's mom lent me.

More to come later! =)
