Hotel Jorgensen Copenhagen

... I forgot to mention that we had had just enough time for Joss to give me one of the birthday presents she had found time to buy me while living in London. It was a watch, from Top Man. I instantly fell in love with it, but sadly forgot to take it off when we went for a swim. It still kept time but now the face was covered in bubbles. We saw quite a few nude Europeans here, but that was nothing interesting, by now we were very used to the sight of nude Europeans ...

... bus tour. According to the brochure, the last one left at 5:00, so we hustled down there and discovered that yes, there was a tour that left at 5:00 but it was the red tour which we have now taken three times. That turned out to be lucky.

We then wandered around a bit down the Stroget for a ways until we found the underground toilet. Then we went down a street we had never been on before and wound up in the Latin ...

... by ourselves except for the two drivers) around the canals and ended up up a large shopping centre. We looked around and stopped for a drink before heading back to the hotel for a rest.

After our rest and watching the rain come down on and off, we rugged up to visit Tivoli Gardens. Of course, it was brilliant sunshine and there was very little wind, and it didn't rain at all so we were quite lucky. I'd (Amy) developed a ...

Couldn't believe it. When we got to the coast they drove the train right onto the ferry and sailed the whole thing across to Denmark, then drove it off and carried on to Copenhagen. It was also our first sight of snow in Europe. We spent about a week in Denmark. What a beautiful place.

... the many innovative architectural projects being built all over the world in collaboration with Danish architects. Projects ranged from floating school classrooms in south Asia that traveled up the river with the farm laborers as they moved according to the needs of the harvest, to a mega billions financial center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia that incorporated a monorail connecting the buildings and solar ...

... The sauce was a little bit sour, but yummy. Dessert was a dense, coconut/chocolate tart with almonds. Way too sweet! A very good lunch, though everything still could have been improved slightly. The value was great; smorrebrod elsewhere probably would have cost an extra $3 or 4 CAD. I might have to come back and try some other smorrebrod. I went back to Kungshallen to eat the lunch - they also have a kid's jazz festival to go ...

... and have a photo with him, but not too close. We also got a photo of Dave in the same spot where he was 10 years ago, just to compare. After lunch we walked into an area called Christiania, back in its hay day you could buy Hash from a vendor on the street and it was considered normal, Back 10 years ago when Dave was here he said it was everywhere. See this area is a kind of hippy town, I have read that it even has its own mayor and is technically its ...

... other ones in Europe. Either way, it's a lively place to stroll with its colourful mixture of locals, tourists, buskers, vendours, shops, souvenirs and much else. But since I had no intention of buying anything, and the rain that had just started again kicked out of me every wish to watch two pantomimists, giving their show dressed and coloured in gold from head to toe, at Højbro Pladsen I turned left towards Christiansborg castle which today, in its third incarnation after ...

... But our whole room is decked out in lots of Ikea furniture and looks much classier than it should. The common room is all fancy looking too...compared to anything at Oberlin. I haven't really seen any of Copenhagen yet. Mostly I've been commuting to and from the school for Orientation which hasn't been all that useful. Basically reiterating pamphlets I've already read ...
