Copenhagen (bis)

I reluctantly left Farum, Marianne and Marie-Louise, the wonderful room with Lübeck furniture, the tablecloth that's in fact a valuable Persian fabric, and all the tomato and apple varieties. Thank you so much!
Then, on Marie-Louise's advice, I visited the Glyptotek, founded in 1882 by the brewing magnate Carl Jacobsen, and spent time reading in the warm, grandiose yet cosy inbuilt glasshouse. Another great reading spot was the Royal Library's garden, under the stern but sympathetic eye of Søren Kierkegaard.
