Dragør

Last Monday was a national holiday here in Danmark, meaning we had the day off. So two coworkers and I decided to bike town to Dragør, a picturesque little town at the southern end of the island of Amager. It's pretty nice ride, and only about a 30km round trip. The route takes you past the airport which is fun. There's also a really cool restaurant, Flyvergrillen located on the side of the runway.There's nothing like munching a burger (or meatballs) while watching planes take off. It brings me back to my childhood, watching the planes from the Newark IKEA. Fond memories.

A church on the outskirts of the town. It had a really beautiful cemetery on the grounds.

Ducklings! Traffic actually stopped completely to let them pass.

It is a really nice little town. And it's conveniently located right near Øresundsbroen, the relatively new bridge to southern Sweden. There's also an out of use fort that has been re-purposed as an underground hotel. Underground in the sense that it is actually subterranean, not that it's somewhere that hipsters would enjoy. Although they might. Dragør also conveniently has really good ice cream. 

Cute wooden boats in the harbor.

The houses are super cute.

People live in houses with actual thatched roofs.

Walking along the ocean.

In all, this was a very satisfactory day trip. Now that the weather is improving, the interns are starting to cast about for a few more long distance bike trips.
