Arrived In Copenhagen

Now that was a looong day! The "air leg" of our journey went very well. All planes arrived early and we had no travel issues, which is always a very good thing. The SAS flight was very nice. The seats were a bit cramped (understandable for economy class) and it was hard to sleep due to the time of day, but the food was great - a nice hot meal at the start and a breakfast before we landed. Customs was a non-issue (they looked at my passport and stamped Mary's), our baggage was there when we got to the conveyer belt, and we caught a cab to our hotel right away. The cab driver understood some English which helped.

As expected the hotel was full when we arrived at 8:00 am (local time) and check in is at 2:00 p.m. so we put luggage into storage and walked around the town. We decided to take a canal

tour which was very nice, but by the end of it, we both were feeling the effects of being up for 26 hours. We did some souvenir shopping, grabbed a small lunch and decided to head back to the hotel to wait for our room. Thankfully, one was available so we were able to check in and immediately crashed for a 3 hour nap.

So now we are waking up, getting unpacked and settling in.

Unfortunately, my camera decided to "die" today. I discovered this as we were about to leave the house when I tried to take a picture of our luggage. It turns on and displays settings and prior pictures just fine, but when you go to take a picture, all you see is "black". After considerable testing and some online internet research over the phone with Katie while waiting at the airport, I've concluded the the "image capture" chip has failed. Thankfully Mary's camera works so we shared it today. So I'll be doing some camera shopping while on the trip. Hopefully I can find a good deal here in Copenhagen!
