God morgen, Copenhagen!

I finally arrive in Copenhagen. Cannot believe it am here. Have to pinch my arm to ensure that am not dreaming.

Don’t face any problem with the immigration. I buy the metro ticket from the machine, using my debit card. The fare is 36 DKK. Change some Euro as am not sure I can withdraw cash here.

Have a bit difficulties to find the metro. Should pay attention to the information I collected. But yes, I finally find it. I get off at Kongens Nytorv, 8 stops after leaving the Copenhagen airport.

I cannot find my hotel. Have asked several persons, until I finally arrive at the hotel. It is a 3 star hotel, but it is so small. The service is good, though.

We can get coffee and tea for 24 hours at the dining area. And there is a free internet. Whilst waiting for my room, I try to check emails. Have problem with the keyboard.

My room is ready and I like it. It is small, of course, but I have my own bathroom. I have a quick shower, change clothes and walk around the hotel.

I walk around the blocks and then to Nyhavn for dinner. Meet couples from Aussie who have been in their first day in Copenhagen too. My salmon steak is yummy.

After dinner, I walk further even the weather turns a bit chilly. Passing the opera building, Admiral hotel, Queen palace, Marble church, a famous Australian steak restaurant, designer shops, a small park.

Meet another couples from Germany and we walked together. Well, the hubby is mostly busy taking photos, the wife chats with me

Return to my hotel after saying good bye to my new friends. I promise to check several tourist spots they recommend. Have a light sleep as I keep waking up.
