We arrived in Copenhagen about 7:20 this morning, and our hotel let us into our room not long after (bless them). We were able to take a quick nap before heading out to explore the city. Copenhagen is this far the most expensive place we have been, and there isn't really much to do there but shop and eat, so it was very easy to see all the big sites in a single day.
We did a walking tour of the city, and particularly enjoyed the amount of pedestrian only streets, I wish Seattle would do that! The older parts of the city were absolutely beautiful, painted brightly to bring cheer during the long dark winter days. We made it to the palace just in time to watch the changing of the guard at noon, and then moved on through some of the beautiful local parks on our way to see the famous statue of the little mermaid. The weather was beautiful, we both got a little pink, in all it was a wonderful day!
For dinner we headed out in search of authentic Danish food, but we ended up going for italian instead and were spoiled to some of the finest capresa we have had in a very long time. And hands down, the best tiramisu (I just love tiramisu).
