Copenhagen rocks

We had a lovely trip to Copenhagen. Firstly, the Swedish tourism people were great to help us get on the right train, and then when we sat in the wrong seats, the guys told us to stay. So we got five hours sitting beside each other chatting away, which we weren't actually booked to do, but didn't realise that we weren't, so it was great. A word of advice though - don't buy the internet connection, because it wouldn't work for us. You had to be in the bistro cart - and we weren't even close to it. So that was a waste of money!!!

But arrived in Copenhagen - mmmmm - carefully booked hotel was not quite where we thought it was. Booked it because I thought it was really close to our train station - Yep - it was close, just not to the central station! Just a short taxi ride and we were all good. First impression of Copenhagen is amazing. It has really wide streets (like Kalgoorlie) which was a surprise, since everywhere else has been built up around old carriage tracks. It has old and new buildings really nicely blended. Nyhavn is amazing! Our favourite place so far. We have done all the hop on hop off tours, and loved them all.

They have this cool little spot called Christiania - which is basically a hippy hangout, with it's own rules and crazy commune building in the middle of a section of island. Interesting point, what I have gathered about Danish history from the brief info they have shared.

1. Danes like the Norwegians.
2. Sweden is a bit on the out.
3. They are still gloating the Nelson didn't get into their port a few years ago.
4. They have the best restaurants!
5. Maersk transport - the people who have all those shipping containers, are such a big they have organisation negotiated their own tax deal with the government.

Now back to Nyhavn - this is a classic spot, where Hans Christian Anderson lived, but it is has lovely little canals, restaurants and shops. It has wide open cobbled zones, where you can sit at a cafe and even rickshaws if your feet are about to give up. But a walk from one end to the other and back is a must. They also have a mega lego store. Huge lego dragons and soldiers placed about the store. Ethan would love it.

Copenhagen was just plain gorgeous. We walked so many streets, and there is so much to see and look at, it would take weeks to feel like we had done it all justice. Definitely want to go back there and go for a cruise. It's a major centre for cruise ships and it is easy to see why. The sea looked amazing. The windmills awesome and the temperature was fabulous.
