Copenhagen, Denmark

For the last August Bank Holiday weekend we headed to Copenhagen or Kobenhavn to the locals. it was a nice break away but since our last holiday was in the states it had a lot to live up to. Copenhagen seemed to be quite a trendy place with the locals all seemed to be well dressed (including designer gumboots on the wet days!) unfortunately though it also quite pricey e.g. 3 orange juices will set you back about $50 NZ thankfully we were on the pound.


Above- Nivckjnkcjn street well its actually Nyhavn street (but I got into this habit of saying anything as all the streets in Denmark are quite a mouthful).


They love their bikes in Copenhagen, someone was telling me that 40% of the population cycle. Can be quite scary walking around though if you dont check if the cycle lane is clear before you cross!

Tivoli gardens and theme park

Tasting some of the local brews on the Carlsberg & Turborg beer factory tour.

The Mermaid- on the top 10 most over rated sights in the world along with Manniken Piss in Belgium. She is despite all that one of the most photographed ladies in the world.

A trip to Copenhagen would not be complete without getting you picture taken with the former 'worlds tallest man' at the Ripleys believe it or not centre- as you can see at over 8 ft he is a big unit.
We meet up with some friends in Copnehagen who were there at the same time.

Check out us in our matching hat's- classy.

Chrsitiana is a random little section of Copenhagen, called the Freetown, it gets its name because it is free of any of the Copenhagen laws. You can legally go and buy and Hash etc with no issues, we went inside for a nosey and as you can imagine didnt stay long enough to find out any of the other laws that they may or may not have there.
