Dansk Design Center

Noice.


So after about 3hrs of walking round the city in the cold we headed to the Dansk Design Center for a) inspiration b) warmth.
Even though its a pretty small space they stuffed a couple of goodies. There were a few installations that were very interesting.

...uhm, 'check it out when you're in town'?

Copenhagen Now.

We all survived last night and once the ship finally docked in Copenhagen we were ready for some fresh air'n'scenery.
The weather was perfect for city wandering. Twas cold enough for layers without having to sweat profusely.


We wandered and wandered...
We wanted to rent bikes from the start - but could not. The city stops their bike rental service during the winter.

booooooo.

We still covered oodles of kilometers, though.
After hours of getting lost and found in this pretty cool city it was time to head back to the mothership:
Oslo....you miss us?

All Aboard > Copenhagen


After eagerly celebrating two entire Christmases [ ie. over-sleeping, over-sleeping, and over-_____ ] we were prepared to take it to the next level.

That next level came in the form of the 'Danske Båten'! Its a 16hr cruise - one way - to Copenhagen, Denmark. Once in Copenhagen we then have around 7hrs to soak in as much Dane as possible.

We excepted the challenge - duh.
"hmmm, should i exchange my USD's for DKK's or keep the low USD's and just NOK it for now and then exchange them to DKK's when we dock tomorrow. The DKK's higher than the NOK nowadays."
.....we drank up to the science of the value of money in our suite with the cool folding bunk beds.

The high life, folks.
Our nonsense spilled over to the ship's corridors. We realized that we werent the most obnoxious - or the most drunk - roaming 'round.
.....check out the projector to see what we're duet'ing. Could you ask for anything more?

NO.

After karaoke the space became the discoteque aka Heaven 11 [ actual club name ].

techno, techno, techno.
I requested 'any Michael Jackson song - whatever you got'......................................an hour later 'Black or White' / Random Techno Mix poured out the speakers.

Christ.
Realizing that if we continued at our pace we'd end up looking like these two fellows above when in Denmark the next day. It was after 3am - we prioritized and crashed.
Copenhagen in the morning.
