May 30 and 31

I thought I'd try to be as good as my parents, who are on another epic bike ride (see their blog HERE), about posting some near daily pics and details about our Central Europe travels.  

But I have to include a few pics from our last stroll through Copenhagen yesterday.  It was a stunningly beautiful day....Mother Nature was good to us during our last week.  It was tough to say goodbye not only to the place, but the people, we've come to love a whole lot.

Early this morning we left and hopped over here to Krakow, Poland, a city (and country) that wears its history on every facade.  Just took a couple of walks this evening to get to know the 'hood around our AirBnB apartment and ate dinner at an up-scalish Polish restaurant that still cost less than lunch in CPH yesterday.  We are staying in the historically Jewish neighborhood of Kasimierz, whose residents were forcibly relocated to the ghetto in WWII.  Now it's a vibrant, hip place.  We are currently being serenaded by young people celebrating at the Jewish Community Center across the street.
In Cph, the Black Diamond library, the Dome of Visions, and the harbor on a beautiful night.
One of our favorite streets, the Streget, the location of our favorite bar, the Kreuzberg
"Our" square, Gråbrødre Torv.
Our front door and a cool bike.
One last stop at Lagkagehuset in the airport to say goodbye to these amazing folks, Andrea, Enrique, and Sofia. 
St. Mary's on the square in Krakow. 
Dinner on the square.

Great pics. Sad I know, but you'll get back to Denmark in the future I'm sure

Love your idea of posting regular pics. Thank You! (In advance) for doing that. Very much understand how difficult it is to leave the people and a place you love. Your current travels will be so memorable too, though. What an enriching adventure you've all had.
