The last two days, we rented bicycles and essentially just wandered around the city. This turned out to be a great idea as we saw a lot of cool things and it was much easier to travel than on foot or by bus. The system we used was quite convenient in that there are stations all over town where you can leave your bike and pick up bikes that way, they aren't stolen. Yesterday, jet lag caught up with us and we didn't wake up until 4pm...:/. Luckily, it stays light until midnight here, so without a further waste of a day, we rented bicycles and took a ride around the harbor. We ended up in an ancient fortress currently occupied by the military (oops!), who are in the process of restoring the castle. After that we head into town and met some locals...one of whom was quite inebriated and I believe was talking about overthrowing the government. We then checked out a few restaurants to wind down the day (one of which had a bookshelf entrance to the bathrooms). When we returned to our futuristic hotel room to find a cute hedgehog outside the building. Overall, its been a fun few days exploring the intricacies of the city.
