... humid. I climbed to the top of the staircase and was at the same level as the top of the plants- it was even more hot and humid up here. My camera did not like the temperature and the lens fogged up. I didn't stay up there for long. We went into the other glasshouse rooms. Each room seemed to have a theme. It was then time for us to slowly make our way to the airport. I really enjoyed being back in Copenhagen and having more time to explore the city.

... anyways, and since it is only a couple of hours, we decided that worse case scenario we would come back the same day on the train. Copenhagen is a beautiful place. It is set on the water, full of canals, buildings that are older than Australia... We has a great day, sunny and warm, and full of surprises.
