Woke tired after a late night of booking fights, but we don't have to go to work. Off to do some tourist stuff and to buy essentials. The morning as spent navigating or way round a supermarket, K-mart type place which as Sylvia said 'has everything'. We had fun buying ingredients for lamingtons, and it took ages to find the coconut, all the labels and aisle signs in Danish didn't help obviously. The it was off to town to shop for essentials. A vague term which has proved quite difficult to define. But that does give leeway!

The highlight of the day was the Danish Design center which had the 2007 Danish design awards, and a Danish clothing exhibition. The Clothing show had lots of very shmick looking clothes ranging from track suits to wedding dresses, and even had a display of ecco shoes which Bridgette was very keen to read about as she had a pair in Tassie, and loved them to bits.
The design awards show had some fantastic pieces in it, the highlight being a beautiful black leather couch which looked like the love child of a bowling shoe and an 8-ball, and a range of black light fittings spanning from small point lights through to huge feature pieces. Also exhibited was a space-age dentist chair, graphic design, play equipment, clothing, amongst others. A small, but great exhibition.

Stopped off at the shops on the way home to purchase some essential items, then headed home to cook dinner for Sylvia. I think the highlight of her wee, apart from having us stay, as the huge lamington that we made her for desert, how very Australian. It was pretty good, even with Danish sponge cake, and had a thick layer of icing as you can't get it as thin as the ones you buy at the supermarket back home (I think they must spray it on).

It was a very enjoyable time in Copenhagen, despite the uncontrollable circumstances (weather and luggage). Catching up with Sylvia was great, and we even managed to convince her that she should go to London for a week to see Bridgette's parents (she has never been to the UK). Now all we have to do is sit on a bus for 21 hours tomorrow and go back to the UK ourselves to sit and wait for our bags to turn up!
