Copenhagen

Falling in love is easy to do here! The city is amazing both day and night. Last night after taking a rest we decided to go into the city to get something to eat. Easier said than done. First we had to get on a bus. We found a woman who sort of spoke english and she helped us buy a ticket and get on the right bus. We really felt out of place. After struggeling getting to the central Station, we finally got there and found a place to eat, Hard Rock Cafe. The food was very expensive. Valerie and I got the cheapest item on the menu, Santa Fe Spring Rolls, for 80 DKK or about 13 USD. We were also excited to learn that drinking water was free. From there we walked the streets. It was later so all of the shops were closed, but we still had a good time. Eventually we decided to head back to the hotel. Unfortunatley we missed the last bus because we were talking to some Swedish boys. Oops... at least we learned how to play rock paper scissors in Swedish. After this discovery we considered walking, borrowing peoples bikes, and a taxi. We were afraid the taxi was going to cost us an arm and a leg, but to our surprise it cost 138 DKK. We were thankful to be back.
This morning we woke and got ready and then went down tothe hotels complimentary breakfast. BEST BREAKFAST EVER! I had swedish pancakes with berry jam, coffee, and soft boiled eggs. We also snuck some food into my bag for lunch. Later we hopped on a bus again and rode into the city. There we checked out tourist shops, took a boat tour through the famous canal, and just took in the city. Finaly we found a grocery store where we were able to buy some bread, water, vegetables, and chocolate.
