Rain and sunshine in Copenhagen

After an early morning we arrived at Copenhagen and the second day of the Lund-Copenhagen trip is almost over. We are looking forward to catching up with old Finnish friends (there seem to be many here) and staying with Merete. Tomorrow morning we will head to Berlin for a well-deserved weekend.
