Missed breakfast because our bus for Copenhagen was leaving too early. + Slept on bus to Copenhagen. The bus did get on a ferry though which gave us a chance to eat and experience Scandinavian prices. Amy fell asleep leaning on a table while Brian was stuck watching TV. It wasn’t normal TV though it was a 5 minute loop of commercials: Paris Hilton Can-Can perfume, Ferry Tax-Free shop with alcohol emphasis, Christina Augilera perfume, Tax free shop commercial #2 focusing on candy, and finally Gucci perfume. It was driving him mad. + More sleep on the bus. + Arrival to Copenhagen and our hotel, “Chicken’s Private Pension”. It was some guys large old house that he rented rooms out in. It was pretty nice, and had lots of art work on the walls, sometimes very bizarre art work. + We followed Rick Steves’ walking tour. + Found a Pizza/Chinese all you can eat buffet. Brian ate 4 plates of food, and only stopped because we was worried why he was not getting full and didn’t want to explode. + Got ice cream at the “best ice-cream” place in Copenhagen. The ice creamw as nothing special but the cone was very fresh! + Walked back to hotel.

Story: Brian’s hunger hallucinations
We were both super duper hungry by dinner time in Copenhagen because we hadn’t eaten very much all day. While walking down a busy shopping street Brian excitedly exclaimed, “oooo! oh… I thought it was a bagel, but it was just a sock.” He was referring to shoe store that we had just passed.
