The Little Mermaid

I did not end up getting any sleep on the first night since I was jet-lagged. So, I basically laid in bed until everyone else woke up. On our first full day in Copenhagen, G&K (Jenning's sister and bro-in-law) took us out for brunch at Cafe Norden. There was quite a bit of food from what we ordered. Our order came with Danish Rye bread and regular bread, which I could not finish. There was also some ham and bacon, which I found a little salty. Our meal came with some tasty cheese & fruits (I can't seem to remember what else I ate cuz I was half asleep). We got to meet a few of their friends from work, who were mostly from the US/Canada.

After the brunch, G&K took us for a walk around their neighbourhood. They live in a pretty convenient area right in the "downtown" part of Copenhagen. The area is 'pedestrianized', so you hardly see cars in the walking streets. Afterwards, we headed back to their place cuz K had to catch a flight to Hong Kong for work. After K left, G took us bicycle riding. We saw the Little Mermaid statue, which is really little, and passed by the queen's palace, the harbour and some museums. The city is very clean and pretty, all the bulidings look like they have a lot of character. The bike ride was just what I needed to help me stay awake so that I could adjust to the time zone better.

That night, Jenning and I made an itinerary for the rest of the week. G&K also have lots of DVDs, so Jenning and I have been staying up to watch movies almost every night.
