As they say, “In our last episode we left you” at the end of our dinner at Zeleste in Nyhavn Copenhagen. After dinner, we strolled down Nyhavn Strand towards the Admiral, our hotel for this stay.

Sweden’s Pizza Culture…

Ron — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 11:22:17 +0000

Yes, Sweden definitely has a pizza culture. Pizza is likely the most famous takeaway and dine-in food around. Chinese, Indian, or hamburgers don’t even come close.
