My mom and I researched a lot of different European cities to visit this fall and decided on Copenhagen, which, by the way, was an excellent choice.
We only had four days there, so to make the most of our time, we had an early flight out that would get us to Copenhagen by noon. What we failed to realize was that having a flight at 6:00am meant we had to wake up at the wee-morning hour of 4:00am. BUT, we arrived on-time, boarded our flight and were in Copenhagen for lunch.
Our hotel, the Admiral, used to be a warehouse on the canal, so it was really awesome inside. This is the ship in the hotel lobby,
We were a little worried about our Copenhagen adventure, as it was supposed to rain the whole time! We were prepared with our raincoats and rucksack regenschirms (backpack raincoats), but 50° and rainy didn't sound like the best sight-seeing weather.
It was sunny when we arrived though, so we decided we'd better do the things that required nice weather first and save the art museums for later.
We took the train over the Øresund bridge to Malmö, Sweden, which was really cool- not only because we got to go over the bridge, but because we got to visit two countries in one afternoon!
As we were speeding along, we saw this windmill farm out in the water (you have to look really closely, on the left at the horizon to see them).

Just a question... why is it that we have to change the names of cities all over the world? I can understand if you have a city in a language with unreadable lettering, like "حسابهایش", which we obviously can't read or pronounce. But København?? I'm pretty sure any English speaker could say "Co-ben-hav-n". Or München? Why did we re-name it Munich?? Was München really that hard? Even the names of countries. Like "Deutschland". What does "Germany" even have to do with "Deutschland"? They don't even start with the same letter!
