Long overdued trip to copenhagen

Day 0 | 21st August 2017

Singapore - Dubai - Copenhagen

I know, I know. I'm the worst blogger ever. But lucky for me, I am probably the only active reader on my own blog. haaa

Anyway, here's the long awaited (or perhaps nobody's even waiting) update on my trip to Copenhagen. 

If you don't like pictures or reading, do check out my Copenhagen video I uploaded on Youtube. 

We always had our annual trips and in 2017, we decided to have a really chill trip. We were kinda lazy to plan an elaborate itinerary, so we decided on Copenhagen. Which was also where she went on exchange during her uni days. Thus, making it more familiar.

Honestly, I didn't do any research at all. The only hard thing I did was booking for my flight. She did the rest. 

We took Emirates and this time round, we took the flight together. Usually for our other trips, we're always meeting straight at the destination. But yay! No solo flightss 

Had a 2 hour-ish layover in Dubai in which the bus from the plane to the main terminal took so long, by the time we reached the terminal, our gate was already opened. Times like these when I'm thankful for our direct aerobridge connectors to the plane in our airport. 

Day 1 | 22st August 2017

Denmark, Copenhagen


We finally arrived Copenhagen the next day. We were stuck at the airport for quite awhile cause someone didn't get her luggage. lol. It was probably forgotten in Dubai perhaps.

Anywho, we took the train to our AirBnb apartment as it was quite near to our place. Cause this was last year, I kinda forgot the details of the place. Though I have a memory of use having to carry our luggages up the staircase to go across another train. or was it for the second apartment...

Presenting to you our wonderful apartment:

our beds

lovely little balcony overlooking the neighbourhood

the living room area where we spent most of our time in

loveee the speakers where we such chill music from the moment we're up. Basically any time when we're home

such a lovely kitchen space, minimal but just enough for what we needed

the toilet was ultra clean! 

After the long flight, we cleaned ourselves up, had some rest and made our way to fill our tummies. Of course, we had thai food. But daymm, it was soo good. 

The first day, we didn't do anything much. Basically just explored our area and of course, got some groceries. 

Day 2 | 23rd August 2017

The next day I woke up feeling so rejuvenated as ever. I woke up so early without even an alarm clock. Maybe also partly cause we slept early too. We were probably still a little jet lagged from our flight.

It was such a lovely morning, with the cool breeze from outside. 

We then walked around the town area called the Nyhavn Harbour. And of course we ate Thai again. Though this time we were visiting a restaurant that my cousin frequently visited when she was on exchange. 

Thai green curry

I opted for Phad Thai

We then explored the city area and chilled by the pier (which we did most of our trip there)

I kid you not, the skies were that blue

bought my dinner

our loots for that day 

can you tell that we were very proud of our buys

yup

dinner

Day 3 | 24rd August 2017

I woke up early as always the next day. Had my breakfast and started working on my assignments. Yes, you heard that right. Assignments. I was technically still on school term, though I had some assignment deadlines to meet.

much chillz

me workin hard

And someone finally got fresh clean clothes cause her luggage finally came through

1. Charlottenlund

We then went to a beach area in Charlottenlund. It was chill. We sat there for awhile. Took some photos and then decided to walk to a pizza place.

me picking out the weeds in my life

1. Pizzeria Costa Smeralda

An impromptu plan to eat pizza, before it started pouring. There weren't any seats there besides the one bench right outside the store. Lucky us. 

waitin for our pizzaaaa

my mussels pizza. it was yumz. 

can't remember what she took, but it was good too. and yes, we had a box each. don't judge k, we were hungry.

after the pizza, we went over to a nearby Ikea. and then decided to walk back to our apartment and cut through this park. it was a nice but also terrible idea. Good cause the view was nice. terrible cause at some point, there were soo much flies, i just couldn't deal. it was to a point where i was paranoid that i might breathe in some of the flies. but really, it was alot.....

while on the other hand, she remains unaffected.

really wonderful view otherwise

and our dinner

Day 4 | 25th August 2017

Good morning!!

Featuring our bedhead faces. The night before we decided to get some shots to try in the morning.

it was spicy and v potent. 

we then went to Nyhavn again, tried out some food at the food market just across. 

explored the area.

pier chilling again

and of course we ate at our favourite thai restaurant 

Day 5 | 26th August 2017

I always love apartments with a washing machine. We always wash most of our clothes before we get back home in Singapore, so that it would make unpacking such a breeze. 

1. Design Museum Denmark

We decided to check out a museum. And a wonderful thing about it is that it's free admission for those under 26. It pays to be young. The museum mainly showed about architectural stuff, chairs, fashion..etc.

had some coffee and cake at the museum cafe

s'cuse me

2. Amalienborg Palace

From the museum, we then walked over to the palace where all the prince and princesses live at. 

3. The Little Mermaid

As you can tell from the picture, it's a very highly visited attraction site. There was a story behind it I read online but I forgot. oh well, you guys can just google ya. 

Our first encounter with wayy too many tourists

I was too lazy to get up close, so this will do.

We then took a free city boat ride to head our way back to our apartment.

Okay, so that's all for today!

I'll be back with the rest of our trip to Copenhagen very soon!

till then!
