First walk-through Copenhagen

We decided to visit the capital city of Denmark over the extended weekend.



We stayed in Annex Copenhagen which is located very close to main train station and also not far away from the city center. After check-in we came to our room.


The room was very clean and tidy yet colorful and cosy. It is really interesting how can such a small room be transformed into fully functional sleeping place with all necessary facilities.

In one corner there was "bedroom"

In the other corner there was "bathroom"

In the third corner there was "living room" with nice view
In the room we experienced for the first time how resourceful are Scandinavians.

We unpacked our luggage and immediately went for a lunch. We stopped by in the nearest Thai food restaurant where we recaptured Thailand.



After fulfilling the requirements of our stomaches, we went for a walk around the city center. We noticed how proud the Danes are with Carlsberg beer.


We walked among the main street and discovered nice jewelry shop called House of Amber. The shop had state of the art jewelry made out of amber. There we could witness all sorts of shapes, colors and prices but among them all the most interesting was the animals (like mosquito) trapped inside the amber. This reminded us on famous movie Jurassic park.




Denmark is known as the country of Lego. We could not resist to visit several Lego stores around the city.





The Danes are not as proud as they should be on Lego, at least not in the Copenhagen. They have stores, they are selling a lot of things made with Lego but still we were expecting much more, like some sort of Lego museum, Lego-land, Lego...

Among the Lego stores there were a lot of other toy stores with interesting toys.




People on the street were trying to get money from people who passed by.


It was time to finish the day and we did it in the Hard Rock Cafe with a nice "little" dinner.





Greeting from Copenhagen,

Boris & Jerneja
