Park Inn Copenhgen Airport Copenhagen

We got off the ship around 9 oclock this morning, found our luggage which was easier than I had thought it would be, and began walking to the bus stop. We caught the bus that takes us back to city centre which has some danish name meaning 'Kings Court'. We hopped on the metro and went to our hostel. Low and behold we couldn't check in until 1, so we stored our bags and went back to the city. We got a pass the first time we were here 2 for 1 for a boat tour, so ...

... one is -almost- a Hobbit after all), using the free internet hotspot. That was highly recommendable! They even had iMacs to browse the we, print and stuff...but they used Windows!!! What??? Business class on the plane was ok, got a salad and whatever we wanted to drink. But for this trip there wasn't any extra comfy seats with extra leg room...though it didn't matter as we had one of the few seats with plenty of leg room :o)

... drinking age is much younger here. For the past 2 days we've seen open-air buses, tractors, and open-air utility vehicles driving around with teenagers drinking and hootin' and hollarin' to their heart's content. Tonight we even saw a bare bottom. These yound adults were celebrating their high school graduation. Well, so much for ham and cheese sandwiches with all your relatives - they just wear nautical hats and parade themselves around town. Oh ...

... up to no good, he asked us both for a ticket as soon as we got off the train. I informed him that I had no money on me, and for some reason it was not accepting my cards. He told me how to properly use the machine and then he left. Next, Melissa and I got myself a ticket and then proceeded on our ay into the city. When we got off, Lis showed me this one place called Tivilon or something that was an amusement park and at night it has displays and it's all lite up. We ...

... Hari estivessem na praça da Sé, ou ali ao lado! Um parque que transmite a sensação tão forte de coração da cidade, cheio de vida, energia, jovens que após as aulas vão para lá se divertirem, passarem um tempo, pessoas ...

... and had planned to hire a bike and ride there, (side note about bikes: everyone here rides bikes. And the roadways are so well organized. And the bikers coexist with the traffic so well!! Its pretty amazing. ) but, it turns out the weather wouldn't cooperate. So, I didn't make it to the beach. Anyway, not too much more to say about Copenhagen, I don't think. Next I hit up Amsterdam.

... it was just great though.... so if you are reading this for advice, maybe you should see for yourselves! Now in Copenhagen... an amazingly live Capital City with beautifully architectured buildings and way too many bikes all over the city. We enjoyed a night out with new friends made at the hostel and were forced to take a rest day to recover. There is a little "country" in Copenhagen, called 'Christiania'. Here the locals ...

I started planning in the end of november. My first stop was momondo.com, where I bought the plane ticket and hotel in Johannesburg the first four days. My plan is still to see what turns up, when I get there. I probably want to go on some sort of safari, but I'm still open to what-ever.

... Little Mermaid statue that we were looking at a completely different one. we saw a very small Episcopal church in the very pretty Victorian style, then crossed a couple of wooden bridges to a military training base. the area is called the citadel and it's a base surrounded by tall grassy hills in the shape of a crown with 5 points or tips (almost a star shaped crown). we walked through a nearby park and came across the old ...

... 45 for a 2pm check in. You would not believe it but we were back in the same room as the iclandic guys who were great to catch up with and see what they thought of the whole show. After a LONG shower and a quick nap we headed to Tivoli which seems to be a bit of a must do in copenhagen. Its a bit like the Renmark show but interesting and things to do. For 200dkk we went on the oldest rollercoaster in the world (made mostly of wood) and then ...
