Our train from Brussels had to cross the Ocean to get to Denmark, so the enormous train drove onto an even bigger ferry and was driven across the water! This was very exciting at the time.
Copenhagen is expensive!!!!!!!!
The short bus ride from the main train station to our hostel cost $5(Aust)!! and a coffee or a tea in a cafe adds up to about $10. Ouch.
So we walked everywhere and just drank tap water! We went on a walking tour (self guided!!) with our friend Farrin who is studying there and saw lots of nice old buildings and the changing of the guard at the royal palace. We also saw the statue of the little mermaid (little being the key word), the author of the story was Hans Christian Anderson and he was from Denmark! We went to a dinner party at Farrin's very flash student apartments (They were awesome! I would move to Copenhagen and start a whole new degree if I got to live there!!) and we were fed a delicious meat thingy which I think when translated from Danish would be called a 'fancy meatloaf'. Yum.
Next day we went to the National
museum and learned about Danish history, lots of Vikings and a fair few wars.
Alex loved the metro trains which had no drivers and if you sit in the front seat and look out the front window through the tunnels it can be quite a trip...haha...trip..
