Copenhagen
As soon as I landed in the Copenhagen airport it became very apparent that for the rest of my trip things were going to be slightly more difficult. Most of the signs were in English, but not all and that slightly adds to the complication of everything!
I was not quite sure I was on the correct train or where to get off but it all worked out. Found my hostel easily enough (Copenhagen City Hostel) because its 17 stories high! With 1000 beds its the largest hostel in Europe. At first I was impressed. The rooms were spot less as was the attached bathroom. Then I discovered that this hostel must be popular with school groups as there were lots and lots of school kids invading every pocket of the place. It was impossible to meet any body there so after 2 nights I decided to switch to a less sterile place called the Sleep In Green. Tonight will be my first night at this new hostel.
After checking into the large hostel on Monday (12 June) I decided to start exploring Copenhagen. First I walked along the opposite side of the river that my hostel was on. There was a park there that was packed with sun bathers. It was at this point that I began to realize how incredibly attractive Danish women are. I would have never guessed because I've never heard much about Danish women. Everyone is thin too and thats probably why they all wear bikinis! And everyone rides bikes. Everyone. From business types to girls in dresses and flip flops. I'm in heaven here. My jaw drops every time I walk down the street. I wonder what they put in the water here? They have the most beautiful women of any place I've ever been too (so far...). The city is very nice and clean as well and there are lots of condos along the river bank too. It was at this point that I thought, Copenhagen would be a very, very cool place to live if only they had mountains!
After strolling up and then down the river bank, I just began to wonder around the town which is very compact and easy to get around on foot. Its a much smaller scale than London so I just walk every where. By the time I got my bearings of the town and ate dinner, I decided to head back to the hostel.
Tuesday (13 June) I basically just walked around town all morning. Saw the changing of the guards at one small 'palace' and then just explored the river bank, parks, shopping areas, old buildings, palaces, and all. Then I went to the park on the river for some sun and for a dip in the river. Cold and refreshing! Then I headed back to the hostel as I needed to do some laundry.
While I was doing laundry (which the directions and machine were in Danish, of course) I decided to see if one of the other hostels had a bed as I couldn't stand the hotel like feel of the other hostel.
This morning (Wednesday, 14 June) I checked into the new hostel with high hopes of actually meeting some people.
