On Wednesday, November 10, 2021, our 23-day Covid 2021 trip is finally coming to an end. Yesterday, we flew from Athens, Greece back to Copenhagen. The flight was very smooth. We didn’t need to go through customs when we left Greece or enter Denmark, so I didn’t get a stamp on my passport! No traces of ever having been to Greece 🙁
We will stay in Copenhagen for two nights and then return home tomorrow. I found an Italian restaurant near the hotel for dinner last night. When I saw the menu, I realized how cheap the restaurants were in Athens! A 750ml bottle of house red wine costs about $43 here, while in Athens, 1000ml of similar house wine costs $10, and there are even cheaper ones. But their pasta was really delicious, which only increases my love for pasta. And someone made a painting accidentally, haha!
沙拉，分量非常小，也许是在雅典吃份量大的沙拉习惯了 (Salad, the portion is small, or maybe we just got used to the huge salads in Athens)这款烤制的意大利饺子非常好吃 (This baked tortellini was very delicious)肉酱意大利面也很好吃 (The spaghetti Bolognese was also delicious)某人倒红酒时不小心洒了一点儿到桌子上，我发现这分明是一副画么！稍微处理了一下，我就叫它“惊叫”吧 (Someone accidentally spilled a little red wine on the table when he was pouring. It seems that he actually created a work of art! After a little touch-up, I will name it, “scream”)
The US requires people who have received the Covid vaccine to provide a viral test three days before the plane departs. As luck has it, a new test center just happened to be established near our hotel. Way too lucky! We went down to line up this morning. The test center opened at 8am and found that the US accepts their rapid antigen test. So obviously, we chose this free test. It took only 20 minutes from the line up to the end of the test, which was very convenient. About 30 minutes later, the test result was sent to our phones via SMS, and it was negative! We can go home smoothly~~
开始排队 (Start queuing)排了不到5分钟，测试中心开门，非常快，可惜内部不让拍照片了 (After waiting for less than 5 minutes, the test center opened, but unfortunately, no pictures were allowed inside.)
After the test, we walked around Copenhagen and revisited some of the places we were at three weeks ago and found a few new ones on the way! There are more cloudy days in Copenhagen in the winter, and the weather is colder, especially when it’s windy. Seeing many Christmas decorations and small shops, it feels both familiar but also unfamiliar.
在旅店附近的一个丹麦士兵雕像 (A Danish soldier statue near the hotel)安徒生雕像 (Statue of HC Andersen)一个叫丹麦喷泉龙的雕像 (A statue called the Danish Fountain Dragon)有了圣诞气息的步行街 (A pedestrian street now decorated with a Christmas atmosphere)这个花店有没有让你有买花的冲动？ (Doesn’t this flower shop give you the urge to buy flowers?)在新港的纪念锚雕塑 (Memorial anchor sculpture in Nyhavn)这次新港有了很多卖东西的小亭子 (This time Nyhavn has a lot of Christmas kiosks selling things)看到了一个卖天津煎饼果子的摊子 (We came across a small stall selling famous Tianjin pancakes, just like in China!)这次终于尝了一下丹麦热狗和巧克力奶，热狗比我预期的要好吃很多，因为美国的热狗非常不好吃，哈哈，这里的酱料和加脆脆的东西特别好吃 (We finally tried the Danish hot dogs and chocolate milk this time. The hot dogs are much better than I expected, because the hot dogs in the US are very unpalatable. Haha, the sauces and crunchy items were particularly delicious.)不同种类的丹麦热狗 (Different kinds of Danish hot dogs)我俩尝试的热狗和巧克力奶，可惜我没拍好热狗的照片，因为某人迫不期待地要吃 (The hot dog and chocolate milk we tried, but unfortunately I didn’t take a good picture of the hot dog because “someone” was eager to eat it)又买了两个吃 🙂 这个是烤热狗 (Later in the day, we went back and bought two more hot dogs 🙂 This is the grilled hot dog)路过的一个饭店，被某人的粉色的好朋友吸引了 (A restaurant we passed by was attracted by someone’s pink friend)在酒店旁边的Radhuspladsen广场上看到了一个特别的小车，走进一看是一个卖咖啡的，设计的很特别，个这个广场增加了一点儿独特的个性 （I saw an interesting looking car on the Radhuspladsen square next to our hotel. As we got closer, we saw it was a coffee seller. The design is very special, actually a modified Thailand-type Tuk-Tuk. His coffee car adds a unique personality to the square）某人点了一杯咖啡并和主人聊了一会儿天，他说他开始这个生意大概有两个月了，从众多的申请的人当中得到了这个黄金位置，而且还是以第一名的结果得到的，希望他生意兴隆吧！(Someone ordered a cup of coffee and chatted with the owner for a while. He said that he started this business about two months ago. For his license, he got this golden spot from many other applicants. I hope his business is prosperous!)
We’re going home tomorrow! It seems that these 23 days went by very quickly. Someone said that the best way to treat the sadness of ending a trip is to start planning the next one!
