This past weekend I spent in Denmark!
Flew over Friday night and took the train into Copenhagen. Stayed in a decent hostel right in the heart of town. Kathryn was my travel companion and we had a fantastic time!! The city felt like a real mix of the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It was very quiet - not many tourists, not many locals - but I suspect that was because of the extreme cold going on... we were being tourists in -2 to - 6 degree weather, plus wind. Very VERY cold stuff - the harbour was frozen!
We walked all around the city, did a harbour tour (they crushed the ice as they went!), went into a few museums (Danish Form & Design Museum, Ameliabourg Royal Palace, Rosenburg Palace) and saw some of the huge Copenhagen sites. Loved the Nyhavn area - so pretty!
On Sunday afternoon we decided to be super adventerous and took a train from Copenhagen over a HUGE bridge connecting Denmark with Sweden! Ended up in the Swedish town of Malmo, which we explored for a few hours. Found a bunch of stores which I would have LOVED to spend lots of money in - competition for Ikea actually!
Scandinavia is super expensive. Like, crazy. Hard to describe. I was in shell shock most of the time over how much things were. A pastry and orange juice for breakfast cost the equivelant of $15/20!!! So I didn't spend that much on stuff for me LOL!
Photos are up on Flickr, but at this second in time I haven't been able to re-name them giving details of where everything is. Click Here.
This week I have been fairly busy at work, which is good! On Monday night, after work, I went for drinks with a co-worker and ate delicious truffle fries. Last night my supervisor/good friend and I went swing dancing! So much fun!
Tonight is another night out, and tomorrow I'm hoping to be in my flat, chilling out. Plans for the weekend are forming up, but wont say much yet. The following weekend is going to be EPIC, but I'll save that and keep you in suspense.
