I awoke at 5pm and, as usual, copied across the photos from the camara before editing them and our phone photos (Drew won’t use the posh camara in restaurants, he says it is too intrusive, though I’m sure the restaurants wouldn’t mind.) Editing complete I uploaded them all on to Flickr.
Drew woke just before 7pm, so I began the usual coffee making routine. We had noted that the hotel did breakfast when we booked it, but had wanted to explore other venues, so today was the first day we decided to stay at the hotel for breakfast.
We went down at 9am and were very impressed. The breakfast is in four areas
(a) juices and coffee/tea;
(b) cold meats, cheeses, salmon and bread;
(c) hot items: bacon and eggs, scrambled and boiled; and
(d) salads/yogurts etc.
We each had three plates of various items with Drew topping it off with to Danish Pastries – oddly, being in Denmark, the first of the holiday!
We came back up to the room and packed before going down to reception and checking out at 11am. We then went on to the Metro M4 change at Konges Netorv to the M2 and to the Airport arriving at 11.34am.
Self-check in for our bags preferred us using our booking number rather than our boarding pass or passports, which it said it would, but with that limitation it worked very well.
Because the airport was so quiet at this time, we had cleared security by 11.50am.
We had a coffee at Joe and the Juice airside and at 1.15pm headed down to the gate,
which we cleared by 1.40pm. All ready for our 2pm Flight which was scheduled to be 10 minutes late as the incoming plane only arrived at 1.45pm a short walk to the plane and we were sat down by 2pm and take off at 2.25pm.
We arrived back in Bristol at 3.02pm local time. The 95-minute flight was shorter than expected due, according to the co-pilot (the plane one not the blog one) to good tail winds. Thanks to epassports we were at the luggage belt by 3.20pm.
And the luggage arrived at 3.30. We had booked the 5.15 bus to take account of any hold ups, so had an Americano and a Latte at Ritazza in the Airport.
The bus left on time with the driver warning there would be a delay as there are major roads works around the Clifton Bridge. With that and the usual delays around Newport we arrived at the Bus Station in Sophia Gardens at 7.15pm.
We walked across Bute Park and we caught the 136 at 7.26pm to the Village Hotel and walked the last mile home – the end of a really enjoyable short break.
Given our experience I'd strongly recommend Copenhagen for a visit. Why not give it a try?
