70s party for DNB's 50th anniversary

DNB had a 70s party for their 50th anniversary of being in The City, I opted for a LATE 70s vibe whereas a lot of people went for the more obvious disco fashions (though quite a lot didn't bother at all!).

 

Lunch in town with Liv and Richard

We went into London for lunch at Lido in Chinatown which was very good. After that we headed to Soho for a coffee at Bar Italia and then a couple of drinks at The Garrick Arms before heading home.

 

Weekend in Copenhagen for Siv's 60th

We're just back from a weekend in Copenhagen to celebrate Siv's 60th. We arrived Thursday night and stayed at the Comfort Hotel Vesterbro. 

On Friday we went for a walk down to Nyhavn onto Broens Gadekøkken for lunch. Carrying on our walk we stopped for a drink at Sofie Kælderen by the canal, where we headed back to in the evening.

On Saturday we headed to the Central Station and got a train to Helsingør, to visit the Kronborg Castle, and a walk around the town. We had a very nice lunch of some open sandwiches at the Culture Yard before heading back to town (where we bumped into an anti covid restrictions march). In the evening we had a simple dinner from Uludag kebab before heading back to Sofie Kælderen for a drink.

On Sunday We went for a walk to Vestre Kirkegård cemetery to walk down its 'tree alley'. Heading back to town we decided to walk through the legendary Christiania Freetown (which was a lot more quaint than you would have thought) before stopping off for a drink in Cafe Oven Vande. After all the walking we decided to have a night in with a simple take away from Uludag kebab again.

Monday was a travelling day home after a lovely weekend away. A few photos from our weekend are below, the rest are here:
