Ørestad Syd - roller parkThis was our weekend: a German outdoor production of Hamlet on Friday in the courtyard at Kronborg Castle in Helsingør – totally mad, with a mud stage, chain link curtains, amazing music and a Hamlet that was totally off his rocker (of course). Saturday – research, bookings and more research (no one feels sorry for us, I know – I don’t either). Sunday – killer spinning class and an afternoon bike ride in the fresh air around Ørestad Syd – a brand new neighbourhood not far from where we live. We’d heard rumours about a great new café out at 8 Tallet (another Bjarke Ingels Group development that’s as impressive now that it’s nearly complete as it was in architectural model format at the Danish Architecture Centre). The café did not disappoint. Neither did the new sports park – it’s all kitted out with basketball court (not many of those here), soccer fields, an urban garden and even a rollerblading rink… might have to strap on the padding (and by padding I mean wrist guards AND pillows front and back) and blow the dust off those rollerblades…
