Copenhagen

First a morning visit to the gorgeous glasshouse (also called wine castle) of Marie-Louise and Marianne in Farum...
Then, with Marianne (the best guide ever), to the botanic garden glasshouse, without fun tomatoes but a nice turpentine tree.
And to the astonishing David's Samling, of which it is hard to believe that it was gathered by only one man, comprising so many items of Islamic art that it would take weeks to look at them all as closely as they deserve.
Then the boat-bus to Christiania, with its cannabis plants.
I'm sleeping next to a peculiar chest of drawers from Lübeck, and on a Persian carpet.
