Copenhagen ! what a magic city. we began to ordeal arriving in this (large) city , and after consulting the trusty lonely planet guide, decided to take a solid 10 min bus ride out of the city to stay at a recommended hostel. great, dragging the snowboards we had to hike a fair way also to get there. it was like 9 pm by time w got there to find it was SHUT for winter !!! a great, spirits low, brady looking to pawn her (heavy) board there and then, we jump back on return bus. two brasillian girls also at bus stop made same error, didnt fone hostel first :(
anyway it all turned out great we found a huge 'Dan City hostel in the city centre so the days we spent we were in the thick of it ;)
saw the sites, Christiana village was a highlight...an alternative village cut off from the mainstream life with their own community/schools etc.. it was once the 'amsterdam' of copenhagen, called pusher street apparantly....
our last night we found these groovy 'city bikes' that you could take after depositing a coin in. so we zoomed around the city streets till late, enjoying the flat roads as do so many of the locals, by bicycle ! they are absolutely EVERYwhere there!
maybe a highlight was the Carlsberg Brewery tour we did.... the tasting sesh at the end was great fun, the beers just supperb !
, ok so we had to move on to Germany. we got our tix , and a bus to Berlin, which included a great ferry ride, weaving through some of denmark's squillions of wind turbines stiking out of the ocean.....
