What a gem! The Glyptoteket indoor terrace, overlooking a conservatory of tropical vegetation, is a calm, romantic spot for a coffee. Definitely on my list of places to regroup and soak it all in, when in Copenhagen!
Stopped for fika with fellow Swede Noelle at Fabrique bakery. Originally, this chain of bakeries opened in Stockholm, and now they're taking over London. More cinnamon buns for everyone!
Stop for coffee at Fabrique here:

It's no secret I love Copenhagen! In January, I was able to sneak a few days in the Danish capital into my travel plans. This time, I enjoyed a coffee in the tropics of the Glyptoteket, before discovering the statues on display. I may even have brought my red and white stripes (and gold, of course!) for the occasion.
This summer, I made a day trip to Viking Heritage spot, Sparlösa runestone. Created around 800 AD, the depictions are up for interpretation, though a typical Viking longhouse and ship are clearly visible.
Connecting with something so rooted in my own history was something really special. When I travel around the world visiting cultural sites, they don't necessary resonate with me, as they aren't directly linked to my family's history. The Viking runestone speaks of my ancestors' life and culture. Amazing. Have you visited any historical sites that struck a chord with you?
