Sometimes jet lag can be a good thing. When you fly from Australia to Europe, inevitably your body is 9 or 10 hours ahead of the local time. This last June, we flew from Sydney to Copenhagen (via Beijing), we woke up decently early. We really struggled to stay awake the evening before, but a soccer game on the TV at the bar and a few glasses of wine – we made at least into the late evening.

The next morning, we woke up at our hotel, got a brief breakfast and took the train into the city. We stayed at the Crown Plaza in Copenhagen, which was on the less expensive side, but it was a bit out of town. We rode the train into Nørreport Station and began walking. Now, the reason I bring up jet lag is that we were up around 6 AM, had breaky around 6:30 AM, and we were in the city before 9 AM. The benefit was that we happened upon the Church of the Holy Ghost sometime around 9:30 AM, which meant there weren’t any tourists (or for that matter locals) out and about just yet. Nice clean view, with the trees framing up the tower. Absolutely great day in Copenhagen!!
