Copenhagen – Five days in ONE post!

Ok it was INCREDIBLY difficult to narrow down the photos I wanted to share

But there's no way this was going to extend to more than one entry (no time!) so here's kind of a boring/quick summary of Copenhagen in April

City Sights

This was just behind our accommodation
We got a homestay room with a lovely Danish woman and her son in the Christianshavn area - a 15 min walk to the city centre. Which is where the popular shopping street, Stroget, is.. in terms of actual shopping though it's no match for Oxford St. No match at all. Nope.

This was also where my outfit pics were taken in this post






An abundance of bikes
All sorts of bikes filled the city
I like the ones that look like wheelbarrows
They use it to kart children around :D

SEE!
Already two interesting variations of BIKE in this photo!

View of the canal



Me! And a ..bike



Tivoli Gardens



Situated right in the city, an amazing amusement park that opened in 1843

Magic carriage of FUN!

And now I present to you..
The most AMAZING, MAGICAL RIDE

MAGICAL is all I can say
Sitting up there looking at the city whirl around me.. it felt so much like flying!
Even more so than when I went paragliding in Austria
You could see just about the WHOLE city from up there.. and it is WAY up
Wind in my hair
The most exhilirating, blissful feeling ever <3>

FOOD



There's this thing called the 'traditional brunch'
Basically it's a giant plate of all sorts of food you typically have on a weekend?
Brekkie stuff, omelettes, bacon, ham, chips, salmon, bread, fruits, yoghurt, etc etc etc

Just LOOK at it!!

A lighter version of brunch, had at a different restaurant from the first



Danish pastry shop that sold GIANT STRAWBERRY/BERRY TARTS for about £10 each



An assortment of herring
Apparently a very Danish thing to have
Too bad I hate fishy things



Smorrebrod (open sandwich thingy) of hmm, was it lamb slices or something.. I can't remember
All I recall is that this tasted DELISH.. the portion just needs to be umm x10 more



Christiania



As you can see, no photos allowed
So these are a couple that I snuck!!

Christiania is this little world of its own
It's got its own rules, shops, radio, tv, bikes.. I dunno, even their own currency!
It's really cool and laid back
I loved it

It's a real pity photos weren't allowed
Because it's such a unique little (well it's 85 acres big but anyway) place
So COLOURFUL and.. it's hard to describe.. it's got a special vibe

Sat here and had a drink as the sun set
This was also a sneakily taken photo :s



Canal Tour



Took an hour-long boat ride through the canals of Copenhagen

Some kind of boat ride, cruising through what felt like FROZEN air
Still enjoyed it though
Except for the parts where the guide went on about some historical stuff



Love these photos I took from the boat
The sky looks so whimsical

To end this post here's a pic I took from the plane on the way back to London



A thick blanket of cloud
I feel like I could nearly lay on it

My fairy friend Joyce is here for a few weeks
She'll be joining me at the Isle of Wight Fest, Amsterdam, and Wireless Festival
I'm so happy I have an extra friend to hang out with now
Plus she's managed to get put up in a flat in Paddington.. I must make it my 2nd home!

I'm finally going to catch the new SaTC movie tomorrow
It's a special screening with cupcakes and cocktails
Now I have to go decide what I'll wear
