London to Copenhagen

Travel day, awoke to a typical rainy day in London.  After some tea and a croissant we are off to Gatwick Airport for our flight to Copenhagen on EasyJet.  According to wikipedia Gatwick Airport is 29.5 nautical miles South of central London..... and typical of London the ride in our cab through central London was an hour and a half.

EasyJet is like our Southwest Airlines, only nothing is free.  Soda's, water, coffee, newspapers everything they sell, this allows them to offer inexpensive airfares.  Richard said the only thing free are the bathrooms and he was right.  After drink service then came the perfume, EasyJet Bears, etc. sales all on a 2 hour flight from England to Denmark. However, the service from the staff was excellent.  I even left something on the plane I purchase (Johnny Walker Double Black) and had to go back to the gate, through immigration and they found it and returned it.

Our cab ride was direct and east to the Admiral Hotel is very historic, click on the link to read more about it. Here are some photo's from our room on the water.

Below are photos of the Copenhagen Opera House directly across from our room. Thebuilding was designed by architect  Henning Larsen in close and ofter problematic cooperation with Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller










This is the Royal Danish Playhouse, check out the images on this link

We then took a walked towards Christania.  I directed us us to the right when we needed to take a left so we went out of our way and as it was getting late we caught a cab......Jamel from Turkey knew exactly where to bring us.  We walked around a little and with darkness approaching we decided to look for dinner.   Our cabbie was Abraham Ismael from Somalia.  He dropped us off and we had food at McJoy's Scottish Bar more to come tomorrow.
