👍👍 Thank you thank you thank you to our amazing tour guide Wayne, he was so full of knowledge about Copenhagen and he gave us sooo much advice on where to go/ what to do for the 2 short days we were there! He also pointed us in the direction of one of the only hotdog stands that had vegetarian sausages...
