This week we made the most of Noma's sabbatical in Sydney by heading to the restaurant that is temporarily taking over the Noma space in its absence - 108. Close, but not quite Noma... As much as our general health has been improved by Anthony's latest extreme dietary regime, it was nice to get out … Continue reading 108 at Noma

Gå hjem fra Islands Brygge
Københavns Havn (actually it's name, not a typo) looked pretty good walking home from Islands Brygge on a very cold but very still night last week.
Kongens Have
Before we even had the keys to our new place we panicked about living without a couch, so went out and found a suitably Scando one. You can learn all about this magical experience by watching this video that I got sent today. It's really up there as being one of the strangest things I've ever received. Enjoy. … Continue reading Kongens Have
Fastelavn på Christianshavn
Our weekend of loosely structured house hunting happened to coincide with Fastelavn. It is a religious festival in Scandinavia that has its origins in Carnival and Lent - sadly my complete lack of religious education* prevents me from shedding any more light on the matter than that.

It ended … Continue reading Hus jagt og sightseeing

These areas are lovely and busy and interesting, so it isn't exactly a hardship... Apparently the busiest railway station in the country The … Continue reading Omkring vores nabolag
Vores gade
Our resettlement consultant described our temporary accommodation as being in an area with 'lots of life', which we now know is code for 'opposite a 24 hour nightclub-of-last-resort'. That detail aside, we are pretty spoilt to be living on Studiestræde. Studiestræde, one way Cross streets off Studiestræde Some rare blue sky during a very cloudy week … Continue reading Vores gade
Vores midlertidige lejlighed
Our first few weeks in Copenhagen have been spent in an apartment on Studiestræde in the middle of Indre By (or 'Inner City', if you have Google Translate switched on). That's us, second floor on the right As you can see, we are living in a hipster fantasy above a Twin Peaks themed cafe/bar. Before we leave I … Continue reading Vores midlertidige lejlighed
