The Land of the Danes

Greetings from Copenhagen! When we walked onto our plane seeing a 6-year-old in first class enjoying an orange juice in a champagne glass, we soon learned we would not have the same fate. Minus our extremely uncomfortable seats, our 7.5 hr flight was mostly smooth and we arrived in Copenhagen at 11am. The Copenhagen airport was extremely efficient and we were soon on the metro on the way to our hotel, Skt Petri. We checked in and napped for a few hours. 

We then set out for a boat tour on the canals. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold and overcast:( Our guide was very nice. She’s a medical student at the University of Copenhagen! We were on the boat with a family who drove here from Germany. 

After the boat tour we went for an early dinner. We ate at a traditional Danish restaurant and ordered Wienerschnitzel, pork, and fish cakes. We walked back to our hotel and went to bed early. 

So far, we are loving the Copenhagen culture. The city is beautiful and lowkey. Very walkable and bike-friendly. Also lots of tall Danes. Get excited for day 2 (sunnier photos coming)! 

Water from the canal —very clean!
