Copenhagen part 2...finally!

Hey guys, sorry for the big pause in posts; my little sister, Hannah, delivered a little bundle of joy on Tuesday and the past few days has been a whirlwind of visiting and cooing! I will post about my new niece later in the week, get ready for some serious cuteness!!!



In the meantime, I owe you some Copenhagen pics. If you haven't read 'part 1' see it here.



We spent Saturday shopping (well, browsing really) and sat outside a cafe in the sun (it was cold though) to do some people watching.



I absolutely loved the buildings in Copenhagen, they were so pretty...


































I hadn't realised, before my visit, what avid bikers the Danes are. When we arrived on the Friday it was rush hour and I was surprised to see parents who had obviously collected kids from nursery/day care/school doing the commute home with their kids in little 'pods' attached to their bikes! There were seas of bikes parked in the main square. People would just hop off their bikes and prop them up against a wall to go into a store - no bicycle chain, very trusting...























Then of course there was the people watching...











...and those "little things" that catch your eye...












I hope you've all enjoyed my trip around Copenhagen as much as I did! See you soon, with lots of baby cuteness.
Have a great week,

Copenhagen part 1

Well, it's been a while hasn't it?


I hope you've all been well, I have been popping in to see you all but haven't had a chance to share with you my birthday trip to Copenhagen. As soon as I got back to the UK I had to get my working head on as I had my first ever market the following Saturday, to say I was stressed would be an understatement! And, as usually happens when I don't stop to breathe, immediately after that I got sick! Anyhow, I'm back and looking forward to sharing my Scandi trip with you...



When we arrived on the Friday it was grey and wet...very much like home!



We dropped our bags at our hotel (which was gorgeous by the way) and went to explore...



























finishing up in a great place for a bite to eat...

Tummies full and a bit tired we strolled back to our hotel. We had a lovely afternoon nap and then showered and got ready to paint the town red!

We headed out to a great Latin place Chris had read about in our guide book

and we'd seen on our earlier walk. We enjoyed live music, nachos and a few too many of these...

which is called a "Ginger B!tch" and we ended the night looking like this....

It was a lot of fun!

p.s I chickened out and cut Chris out of the final picture for fear of divorce!
