I arrived here in the early afternoon, to a grey, rainy day after a great flight where I had a three seat row all to myself.
I had a bit of trouble locating which train I need to get me into the center of Copenhagen, where I was staying, and had a little bit of anxiety of how to get help, when I heard a group of Aussies talking, they seemed to know where they were going so I asked them. They were from Adelaide and were heading the same direction as me. So I tagged along. Back when I started working on my plans for this trip I found out about the Copenhagen card that gives access to trains and various locations there, like a smart rider here in Perth but on steroids. It included entry to Tivoli and a tour on the canals |

Once settled into my room I decided to take a walk around Copenhagen, first stop was a 7/11 for a coke and a much needed umbrella, then I took a walk over to Tivoli Gardens, a permanent amusement park and peaceful gardens, for someone from sleepy Western Australia a permanent amusement park is something I had to visit. With all the rain, all I could do was wander around.
I left there on a mission to find a sim for my camera. No luck with that, the language barrier between English/Danish combined with the technology barrier, prevented me from explaining what I was after. I left there with the thought of trying to have an arvo nap and went back to my hotel, I was still too wound up to sit around so I went for a walk up the Strøget "the longest shopping area in Europe", in the rain it was still an amazing experience, but I did not stop, I investigated where I wanted go and to see the next day, hoping the rain would have moved on.
Night was getting close so I decided to find some where to eat, which ended up being a little pub, where I had what they called an Aussie steak, I discovered this was because they put 1 crumbed prawn and 4 squid rings on top.

I woke to a cold by very sunny day, which was great to see. So off I went, I had decided to do the canal tour which was not due to depart until after 9, so I checked out and left my bags at reception.
