Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen!

I’ve spent the last couple of days in Copenhagen.  And since travel is (so they say) an education, I thought I’d pass on the wisdom gleaned from my latest jaunt.

• Should you ever be invited to a wedding at the town hall in Copenhagen, you might want to rethink the tradition of showering the happy couple with rice as they emerge from the majestic building.  That is, if you want to avoid a flock of hungry seagulls dive-bombing the bridal party in an attempt to snatch a free dinner.


• An exceedingly good way to get about town for those too lazy to walk is to don a pair of roller skates, borrow two pet dogs and act like they’re huskies.


• If you spot a troop of soldiers and a marching band, feel free to tag alongside as they wheel through the streets on their way to or from the changing of the royal guard.  Very jolly fun.


• Should you be an optician in search of a novel idea for your window display, consider suspending slices of toast on threads of differing lengths and hanging in said window.  Use a few more slices as little cushions on which to place pairs of spectacles.  And toss yet more into a basket with some more glasses and a plastic flower or two.  Or not.


• For an truly exquisite meal, book yourself a table at GODT.


• Earth Hour is not the best time to begin picking your way through the streets of an unfamiliar and near pitch black city.


• Smushi (tiny Danish open sandwiches with a ‘contemporary sushi twist‘) are a seriously divine invention worthy of wider repute.


• If ever you find yourself within a hundred miles of a branch of Joe and The Juice, go there post haste.  Approach the counter and demand, ‘Sex Me Up, please!’  When the response is, ‘Certainly!  Large or small?’ you should most definitely reply, ‘Sex Me Up Big!’  You will then be given one of the most delectable nectars known to man - passion fruit, apple and ginger juice.  (If you have a juicer at home, try it!)
