NORDIC WINTER

We traveled to Seatac on a rainy stormy Janurary day for a flt to Denmark via Iceland.  It was my birthday! We decided last summer itmwould be fun to see some Nordic countries in the winter and maybe see some Northern lights...but I was starting to wonder..."what were we thinking!" We grabbed a Taxi...$$$$ in Denmark and got to our interesting hotel called 71 NYHAVN, located in the old sailing district. 

The hotel had been an old stinky warehouse for fish, timbers and whatever had been in port in the old days of sailing. The renovation was incredible as they kept all the old rough hewn timbers and stone work. The front desk guy was hilarious and a big fan of American football, even tho he had never been to the US. He even knew  all the stats on the Seattle Seahawks, so he was loving chatting up Steve….plus he thought he was Danish with that “Torgesen” last name. By the time we were thru , he had upgraded us to a suite, and we had a very enjoyable stay.  We tried to go out and walk a bit…..but it was cold and windy and I needed sleep. We crawled into bed at 2 PM for a 5 hour nap…which was dumb, because the rest of the night was up and down and awake a lot.  We were too tired to try and go out and eat, so we just opened the mini bar in the room and had at it!
