Copenhagen and London with Heath!

For the second week of my spring break, Heath came to visit me and we split our time between Copenhagen and London. We had such a wonderful time and saw so many great places! I was soooo happy to see him and get to spend the whole week together! I am glad that he came later in semester because now it isn't that long until I come home... Don't get me wrong, I am having a blast abroad, and I still have a handful of fun trips planned... but North Carolina is home and I finally feel ready to start this next phase of my life in Charlotte, no regrets and no "I wish I got to.... while I was still in college." Having Heath see what my life has been like here meant so much to me and I am so happy that I have such a great boyfriend that will travel across an ocean to visit me! :)

 Velkommen til Danmark!

 First Danish meal? Danish hotdogs!

 We tried to make it to the Carlsberg Brewery for a tour but were too late! But that's okay, because their slogan is only "Probably the best beer in town" haha

 Nyhavn!

 

First pub in London!

Yummy Sticky toffee pudding!

Heath and I were amused since James Taylor is a NC native!

BEAUTIFUL Daffodils in a park beside Buckingham palace.

So happy that it is finally Spring!

ICEBAR! Brrrr

Countdown.

Countdown until Spring Break begins: 9 Days
Countdown until the boyfriend arrives in CPH: 18 Days.

During the first week of SB, I am going to Rome with my Classical and Renaissance Rome class where I will be visiting the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel,  Forum Romanum, Colossum... the list goes on and on but those are just some of the highlights! I fell in love with Italy last fall when my family went to Tuscany and I can't wait to go again!

Legend has it that if you throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain, you are sure to visit Rome again so of course I will be doing this!

I will return from Rome on Saturday and will pick the bf up from the CPH airport on Sunday! I want him to experience where I've been living for the past few months so we will be spending part of the time he is here in Copenhagen and the other part in London.

I haven't decided exactly where I will take him, but a couple of things that I can't wait to show him are Nyhavn, CPH Zoo, National Museum, the Royal palace, and introduce him to the Danish culture that I've been talking about so much!

In London, I hope to do all of the classically English things like take a double-decker bus tour, eat fish and chips, ride the London Eye, go to afternoon tea, visit the British Museum and Tate Modern!

No matter what we do, I will just be happy to have him here with me... like having a piece of home with me for a week!
