Last week I was staying at the very nice Admiral Hotel, located near the riverside in Copenhagen. Like most hotel breakfasts, theirs was a buffer complete with a four slice toaster. I thought it’d be nice to have a single slice of toast with my breakfast, proceeding to put a single slice into the toaster before wandering off to add a few other items to my plate.

I sat down, watching from afar, waiting for the toast to pop when I saw another guy put some bread into the toaster. Thinking nothing of it, he waited for the toaster to pop and proceed to take both slices of bread, including mine.

I’m not quite sure what he was thinking but I certainly found it strange. At least there wasn’t any shortage of bread to toast.

Every Friday the client brings in some breakfast for everyone. This week, one of the guys brought in an extra special breakfast item, Gammel Dansk. Translated as “Old Danish”, it’s a drink they apparently have with breakfast during certain festivities.

Anders made everyone have a shot and all the locals apparently couldn’t wait to see everyone’s faces as they downed it with their breakfast. It was certainly strong, tasting like a much less sweet mirto or a stronger version of gin and that’s when the after taste kicked in… Urgh. It was obvious all the locals knew what was coming and enjoyed watching people react to its taste for the first time.

I can’t say that I’ll be making it my traditional breakfast drink yet.

Last week a bunch of us went to Tivoli Gardens for the first time. It’s apparently the location that inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland and I can really see why. Located right in the middle of the city, it’s amazing how much entertainment they pack into such a small amount.

With only a few hours after work to really enjoy it all, we hit all the rides that looked like the most thrilling including several rollercoasters and various rides that dropped you from great heights.

Tivoli Gardens is amazing considering how old it is. It’s a great balance between entertainment for the young and plenty of activities for adults as well. Forget about cheesy, low quality entertainment although the park caters for all tastes. It even has two restaurants awarded with a Michelin star!

Considering we only about about £30 for both entrance and unlimited rides, you easily get the value for your money for a day.
