Copenhagen Day 1

We made it to Copenhagen! Spending over 12 hours in planes and airports had us fighting the effects of jet lag. Instead of napping we decided to stay awake and try and see as much as we could of the city by foot. Walking down the copenhagen``s cobbled road, one couldn´´t help but to notice the city was very quiet. Although we ran into a lot of people it lacked the drowning background noises which accompany large cities, it was a nice change. Walking around, I was suprised to see a)how many people ride bicycles in this town and b)the amount of tall blonde women. Distracted, we continued on to see the Christiansborg Palace taking pictures of the many statues of previous kings. After this we walked to the center of town to the Nyhavn canal there we hopped on a guided boat tour throughout the cities canals. Most of the architecture is made out of brick some dating back befor the 1600s. Building codes have all the structures around the same height, leaving churches and monuments to stick out along the skyline. Beatiful multi-colored old townhouses line the canals, which were lined with people hanging out and socializing on the docks and boats. We were dropped back off at the Nyhavn canal and capped the evening with dinner at Nyhavn 37 which overlooked the canal. The food was delicious and the people watching was entertaining. The weather was in the upper 60's all day long with a grey cloud cover overhead, it has now started raining...hopefully this will stop before tomorrow, got a big day planned.
