Had a fabulous meal in Fiat restaurant. Wandered in, not knowing that it is one of the top restaurants in Copenhagen. Ho Hum... Great meal though, only spoilt by guy smoking cigarettes at the next table!
The question “Is it a life experience?” has launched us into some amazing cultural exchanges such as volunteering in Tanzania, floating in a canoe down the Amazon, snorkeling in Alaska and walking among the wonderful creatures on the Galapagos Islands.

Love that Italian Food
Had a fabulous meal in Fiat restaurant. Wandered in, not knowing that it is one of the top restaurants in Copenhagen. Ho Hum... Great meal though, only spoilt by guy smoking cigarettes at the next table!
Now that's a house
Ingenuity, design and recycled everything. Those are the ingredients for amazing houses in Christiania. Amazing what bit of dope can do!Land of the eternal hippie.... Christiania
Now we had never heard of Christiania ... but my oh my... what a place. We viewed the rules first up ...▪ No guns. ▪ No violence. ▪ No stealing▪ No hard drugs.
Ok so where are we..."Pusher Street" Just couldn't believe it, all these little stalls with joints and hash cakes set out, complete with price lists. When we got back we found out that it was quite an amazing community. It has been going since 1971, has its own community rules, currency, businesses and schools.
Its incredible that a group of people took over disused army barracks and the government has been trying to move them on ever since. So far no luck and the community has continued to thrive.For those of you who have asked... yes those are drugs for sale in the bottom left hand picture.
Wunderbar Copenhagen
Had to check out the famous "Little Mermaid", Rosenborg Castle, Danish Beer and the fab sunset from our apartment!Saturday, June 18, 2011
Arty farty stuff!
Our first day was spent wandering... looking agog at all the artworks , great and small. A meal at an open air restaurant in Nyhaven by the canal, finished off an exhilerating day!Friday, June 17, 2011
Its the little touches
The architecture of Copenhagen is just stunning........not overwhelming like Rome but really accessible. Its all in the detail. Still don't know what the road sign, "Stop for blink" means. Open sandwiches....yum.canal tour
Canal trip gave us a really good idea of layout of Copenhagen. Actually a really small compact city.... so calm and quiet. Looking forward to visiting Opera House. Mind blowing to think of a 14 storey opera house... six levels underground. Also like the little pavillions especially for the Royal Family as they wait to get on their boat... mind you when that wind blows..............
