I flew directly from Trondheim to Copenhagen, my first flight after a lot of trains. I think my taxi from the hotel to the airport cost more than the flight, the flight wasn’t cheap, but the taxi was exorbitant.

I got a train from the airport to a station close to the hotel and walked the rest of the way. It is a lot easier to wheel a suitcase along streets that aren’t covered in snow. It was not warm, but it was a lot warmer than snow-covered Norway.

Dinner on the first night was a ramen place just over the road from the hotel. I got crispy chicken and a bowl of ramen, I think with a drink it would have been close to $50AUD.

Just across from the hotel was a recumbent tricycle parked with a raincoat on. The shape reminded me of the recumbent tricycles we created in high school.

Back at the hotel the do not disturb sign for my door was rather apt – I think I got about 5.

The next morning I set out from the hotel to have a walk around and locate breakfast. Thankfully a lot of the stereotypes of Copenhagen regarding coffee shops, and bike shops, and bike shops with coffee shops inside them were true. I also managed to find a bakery close by, which was a staple for the rest of my stay, Bargeriet Nansengade. I enjoyed watching the morning commute with tsunamis of cyclists.

With coffee I started heading towards the station and some parklands not far from the hotel. Today was just going to be exploring on foot. It was early so not a lot was open, but I got to see Rosenborg Castle (from the outside) and the gardens.

The next stop was to be The Citadel, a star-fort that dates back to the 1600s. But on the way I was enjoying the house and buildings, and bikes.

The Kastellet appeared to be a very popular place for people to enjoy an early morning run.

Back in the city I had a wander around the cobbled streets.
