City Hotel Copenhagen

... Tried the porter and saison though.
Porter was very yummm. Great flavour, maybe a little thin.
Saison was a nice refreshing Belgian.


Saturday morning Glenn introduced me to his latest gastronomical find... Breakfast In A Can!!
Took the train into the city this time for a different view and managed to see Rosenborg Slot (castle), the musical instrument museum (which was awesome and free!), the Round Tower which was a long ...

... of our backpacks and as an adopted Mancunian, I presumed he had spotted that we were strangers and therefore perfect victims for a stabbing/mugging/assault. However, it transpired that our local had spotted what he thought were lost foreigners (actually, for once we weren't actually lost at the time) and had assumed the role of proud and ambassador and guide for his city. He actually spoke far better English than most Mancunians as well. Copenhageners take great pride in their ...

... although we couldn’t see into it, we thoroughly enjoyed what we could hear. It was an electronic band we didn’t know called The Whitest Boys Alive. They were very chilled out and we just lay there listening to the exact music we felt like. They won two new fans.
When they finished, we moved up into the front of the stage to see the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s. They had a giant eye on stage with them which was a bit creepy. It wasn’t amazing, but it ...

... seeing the statue. But to me, it was not small; it was the actual size of a young woman. It was situated just off the walk and actually in the harbor itself. This may have been the most famous statue in the entire city. Like the second most famous statue in the city, it was not one that was in the center of a large square but just off the side of the walk. Unpretentious but still significant and both statues were tied to Hans Christian Anderson, a famous ...

... 8 am because we wanted to make sure we had the whole day to do any additional sight-seeing. We got up, got ourselves ready and then realized that it was a very ****** day outside. It was overcase, and drizzling, and we decided to leave on a 11:20 train, arrive at the next stop at 11:33 and then walk to the Queens castle so we can watch the changing of the guards at noon. We arrived as scheduled, and continued to try and follow our directions to the Queens castle ...

... very good weather for walking. We got back to Copenhagen 9:30 on Sunday. -Last Monday, I went to a football game (soccer for the Americans!). We got lost and missed the first half, but the second half was fun. It was neat to see -Last Wednesday, we planned on going to a good cafe and the design museum, but it didn't really work out. The cafe was closed and we went to the wrong museum. We ended up at the Danish Design Center, though, and it was really interesting ...

... komme imorgen og så må jeg have booket de sidste hoteller/hostels senest i denne her uge. Programmet indtil videre ...

We arrived in Copenhagen and went to go to lounge as we had a 4 hour layover. We were not allowed into the lounge as we did not fly on with KLM. So it was a long 4 hours hanging around the terminal until finally got gate for flight on to Reykjavik. We went to gate waited and then boarded half empty plane to Reykjavik.

... After all the ride fun we at the Chinese restaurant there and discovered that food in Denmark is very expensive. We called it a night and headed back to our hotel. The next morning we set out on a walking tour of our own creation. We started at the Rathaus and the square around it. This was a very cool area because all the buildings had advertisements on them, but not the cumbersome billboards just little light up signs. This made it so the adverts didn´t take away ...

... the best part of a tenner and at the waterside two bottles of Sprite poured into one large glass with the added benefit of ice cubes came to a fiver. Copenhagen was a quite a step-up from the very rural and quiet locations we had been visiting so far. The town centre was almost claustrophobic with the number of people and tourists, lots of more English could be overhead, increased amounts of litter and general grime (not just around McDonalds although they tended to be ...
