Comfort Hotel Osterport Copenhagen

Very brief time in Copenhagen, reunited with Mike (YAY!) and my parents at the airport before traveling to our boat for our cruise.

I was briefly quaranteened after filling out the health check. Apparently side effects from visits to African Nations, and anti-malarials are quite similar to H1N1 early symptoms. Not to worry, it was a short (30 minute) delay before I was onboard and enjoying the experience!

... was awesome, we would have died if we had to wait longer, it had been such a mission getting home. A few tube’s and bus’s later we saw the familiar sight of Glen sitting on the Crouch end veranda smoking, and he saw the familiar sight of TSJ’s dragging some huge and heavy bags down the street. He said we didn’t look nearly as bad as we did after Glastonbury.
While not as painful as the night we arrived home from Glastonbury, it was a ...

... was coming to a close. So back toward the water of the Harbor we walked and turned at the waterside toward the waiting White Lady. We walked back to the ship alongside of the harbor; stopping periodically to take a picture of a view that we wanted to remember. As we passed the Little Mermaid, we could see the final steps to the White Lady. We visited Copenhagen on a cool spring day in which the threat of rain was ever present. The country of Denmark is not ...

... a gas station to pick up some snacks. We got some Vanilla yogurt, and then I grabbed some snacks that were similar to cheese puffs, we then went back to her house where we made popcorn, ate the cheese puffs, had some hot chocolate, and then changed out of our dirt, wet clothes, and relaxed. Eventually I took a shower and then got ready to go to Melissa's photo shoot for the SiSu Backsetball Team. Some people picked the two of us up and then we went into the basement ...

Day 14 dawned bright and sunny in Copenhagen. Our tour today included a bus drive around town to see the important sights and then a canal boat tour. Again, another city built around the water.

Denmark is very clean, with a mixture of old buildings like Amsterdam and newer extremely modern glass-and-metal structures. None of the depressingly ugly Russian buildings like in Finland and Estonia. This town ...

... stakk mitt godt brukte VISA-kort i automaten fikk jeg beskjed om at kortet ikke var gyldig. Det viste seg at butikken to bare DAN-kort som er det tilsvarende som personkort. Takk for meg sa jeg og marsjerte ut av butikken. Det var den handelen. Tidligere på dagen hadde vi vært på Nyhavna og spist en bedre "Frokost" som danskene kallen en Lunch for.

... was very lucky to get the best seats in the house! We got to sit right behind Paul's family in a very select area. The reception was different and fun. The tables were set up in the shape of the letter "E" with the bride and groom in the middle. The guests were all mixed with other guests. In other words, I did not sit with Eric and Arbor House was split up. It was Swedish tradition for the guests to sit with ...

... at a regular restaurant would have been over 10 dollars. Denmark is only minutes from Sweden by bridge, in fact standing in a tower you can see Sweden. However, the country is a sharp contrast to Sweden. Stockholm is romantic, and Copenhagen is hip. If they were actresses, Stockholm would be Gwyneth Palthrow and Copenhagen would be Scarlett Johansson. Copenhagen, like Stockholm, has extremely impressive architecture and demands a great deal of respect. But Sweden ...

... display from a company using innovative technology to improve daily life. Items ranged from sustainable design in furniture and architecture to a company that made designer adult diapers to improve the quality of life for people in Asia where older people often live alone. Later on, I met up with Tommy who is a million times cooler than Prashant. On top of our season passes to get into Tivoli, we had to buy an ...

Arrived in Copenhagen and met Toby at the hostel. Although it was raining the guys wanted to go for a bit of an explore so Toby led us around the sights and sounds - but really he was after a famous copenhagen hot dog! They were pretty skinny little sausages but 'with the lot' included sauce, mustard, tatare, sausage wrapped in bacon, dried fried onion, fresh onion and gherkins. Yumbo! After ...
