Copenhagen

Well here is my first blog... my trip to Copenhagen. Priscilla (Sydney KPMG gal who is on secondment over here too) and I managed to get up bright and early on the saturday morning to get our 6.30am stansted flights....

This is my quintessential photo of Copenhagen .... the lovely little mermaid who was alot smaller than we expected. After waiting for about 20 middle aged tourists in leather soled shoes to traverse the 3 rocks to the statue for their photos, I tried to do it super quick and ended up in the water with a big bruise on my hip (and wet shorts). Unbelievable!!



We also visited the square with the balcony that Princess Mary got to wave to the crowds after her wedding, only thing was there were about 6 balconies looking very similar, so we were unable to pin point the exact balcony.

Tivoli is an amusement park in Copenhagen... we ended up having dinner there on saturday night.

Sunday morning was a traditional scandinavian breakfast. Flitered coffee, cold meat, slab of brie cheese, slices of jarlsberg cheese and rye bread. Just what we needed to get us ready of our flight home... which was delayed by 3 hours.... So annoying!!! Now easy jet has cancelled our flight to Budapest for the long weekend.... I guess you get what you pay for :)
