Og : Day 1 (again) in Copenhagen

So we'll continue to talk about Day 1, since I didn't really mention anything beyond the fact we had landed. The flight here was good (for me), but Alisa had a crying baby that kept her up for most of the 7ish hours. Customs was no big, and we had pretty much figured out how to get to our hotel. The one hang-up was figuring out the PIN for credit cards (because apparently all of them have one.)

We checked into the hotel, and went around the corner in search of food. There was a bit of sticker shock ($25 for brunch?) but we ended up at a very sunny sidewalk cafe. Alisa couldn't keep her eyes open behind her sunglasses, so it was back to the hotel for a three-hour nap.

We woke up refreshed (though I was a bit sweaty) and headed down the 'storget' (I'm missing some accents and spelling it wrong, but it means 'stroll' and is a pedestrian street.) We were approached by a friendly Dane. She chatted us up, then we were given some hints for nightlife and such.

A long stroll to the Little Mermaid (and the super beautiful park that surrounds it) and we were foot-weary. It took some looking, but we found a place with meals for less than 100 DKK or about $20). A bottle of wine and two Minnesotaeans later, and we were back to the hotel. Still not knowing any Danish besides 'ya' (we think means 'yes') and 'og' which means 'and.'
