Monday - Copenhagen to London

We are loving the relaxed starts to the day. Drift off to breakfast, take our time.
Actually our breakfasts have been so comprehensive we are pretty much down to 2 meals a day.
A large breakfast, a very small bite in the late arvo, and then dinner at night.

The day was a bit wet, but we decided to wander around Copenhagen anyway.
We ended up walking a lot today.
We just love Copenhagen.

A few umbrellas were out today.

Around the middle of the day we headed for the airport. 15 minutes on the metro was all it took to get from one side of the city to the airport which was on the other.

We couldn’t check in for a couple of hours. So John found somewhere to print a boarding pass from our online check in.
Worked a treat, and we now had plenty of time to do some duty free shopping. John is not a natural born shopper though.
To keep him occupied, Narelle sent John off in search of some perfume. Little did Narelle know how much hurt she was about to inflict upon John.
By the time Narelle checked on John’s research assignment, John was deep in conversation with the sales assistant.
John may hate shopping, but he does like conversing with the locals.

The only really interesting aspect of our flight was when we went through immigration. Going into France, Czech Republic, Denmark, we only received a brief hello from immigration officials. But whenever we try to get into the UK, we get asked lots of questions. All good natured, but fascinating all the same. We must look like trouble making Australians.

Then it was off to Cambridge. Uneventful, but now Narelle was driving, and John was the navigator.
Narelle was very excited that we would be staying at a golf resort.

Then we had dinner at the hotel. Usually this can be a dull, but perfectly functional meal.
When we arrived for dinner, some diners were leaving with comments such as ‘ not such a good night’. This did not sound promising.
But we really loved our food. Interesting, tasty and just wonderful. And the service was really good.
We’re just glad we had the positive experience.
