Denmark: Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

‘Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen. Friendly old girl of a town’ and how very wonderful she is. I really didn’t know what to expect of Denmark’s capital but what I did find was very pleasant. Mr ESLT and I love to spend our birthdays exploring a city and creating memories so for Mr ESLT’s recent birthday we travelled to Copenhagen. The first thing I loved about this city was the fact that it only took 90 to get there from the UK, I hate flying you see but with this flight we had just reached cruising altitude when we started making our decent into the very modern Copenhagen airport. I think we landed at the furthest gate from the exit, so it was a good job our carry-ons are on wheels and we had a monster walk to get out of the place.

Denmark: Tip Top Tivoli, Copenhagen – What Better Way To Spend a Friday Evening?

When I book a break, trip, holiday, sightseeing adventure whatever you want to call it, I always looks for things that are happening in the area during the duration of our stay. So when I booked our trip to Copenhagen, Denmark for Mr ESLT’s birthday I set about finding out what was going down at the time. It appeared nothing too spectacular was scheduled for our three night stay however I did come across a lot of recommendations to visit Tivoli especially on a Friday evening as there is live music on the main stage. With previous guest artists including Snoop Dogg and Elton John we thought we were going to be in for a treat. I quickly checked the program which is available on Tivoli’s website and saw that the band playing the night that we wanted to visit was a Danish band called D-A-D(?). I’ll be honest neither Mr ESLT or I had ever heard of them but as fans of live music we thought why not, let’s give it a shot. The added benefit of Tivoli was that it was literally a five-minute walk from our hotel.
