COPENHAGEN- Rungsted Kust

Time always flies whilst travelling... I left for Copenhagen on a sunny Wednesday during July, and before I knew it I was back on the plane to London! 

The journey down was pretty interesting as I met an English Doctor who lives in London and flies down to Copenhagen almost every week, to see his Danish girlfriend! We got into conversation after he was eaves dropping on my phone conversation- about the #blacklivesmatter protest I had organised three days previous (over 3000 people turned up and the media were loving it). Turns out he was a Buddhist and also going to Copenhagen to meet with his Guru. I thought I'd mention this man because he was ultra cool and made my journey that bit more interesting. Lately I've noticed that I keep meeting insightful, conscious and gracious people more and more regularly.

A nippy two hours later, and I had landed in Copenhagen. This time I travelled down alone, to visit my gorgeous cousin Shaylee. 

Her and her boyfriend, Patrick picked me up from the airport which was located on the outskirts of the city. Shaylee lives in a suburb, outside of Copenhagen that I can't seem to remember and couldn't pronounce anyway. In fact the majority of names and words in Danish I struggled to say.. though may I add that I love the way the Danish say 'Organic' - 'Økologisk' (pronounced: Oo-kol-oisk).

That evening Shaylee had planned for Patrick, herself, her best friend Alex and I to go to an elegant Sushi restaurant in one of the wealthy suburbs, along the Rungsted Kyst. We had a table booked for 9pm and at around 8:30pm, decided to pass through the sandy beach 5 minutes from the restaurant and just 20 minutes drive from the house. The visit to the beach took me by surprise when I saw an elder man stripping down to his trunks and getting into the water! It was late and the weather wasn't exactly hot. The water itself was so cold, yet he swam for around 10 minutes and exclaimed that 'the water is not cold at all,' after I gave him that typical shocked Brit look. 

Sticks 'n' Sushi. Boy was it incredible. We ordered in pairs and when Alex spoke in Danish to the waiter, asking for 'The Perfect Day' sharing platter, the waiter gave me a smile and then responded to Alex by explaining our date will be The Perfect Day. I of course had no idea what was going on and just smiled politely. Shaylee started giggling, knowing that I have a boyfriend and Alex has his 'side chicks'.

Once the food came, we all tucked in. If I could explain how the raw fish danced and pranced on my tongue, creating a tickling sensation and causing pure joy to run through my veins... I would, but it's not something that people really understand till they experience it themselves.

Oh and may I add this Sushi restaurant had the coolest toilet I've seen...

After the meal we took a stroll along the dock and got some ice cream. 

Yeah, we have wongaaa... Well kinda, the exchange rate is roughly 10K:1£ haha!

It was a lovely start to an exciting four days in Copenhagen, the 'coolest kid on the Nordic block!'

Peace&Love,
