copenhagen beginning

so oslo was pretty much an amazing city... and i will absolutely have to go into more depth soon, but once again my time is limited on the computer at the hostel.
right now, i'm in copenhagen, denmark. we took the overnight ferry from oslo two nights ago. it was pretty cool being on a ship... but we had a pretty sucky room. allllll the way on the bottom, below the cars! overall it wasn't too bad since it took care of our transportation and a place to stay all at the same time... but meredith and i did get a cold. so i've been trying to tough it out walking through copenhagen with my tissues and my fleece trying to avoid the chills!
but so far, copenhagen is SO much different from oslo... when i actually get to write about oslo you'll understand what i mean! 
but copenhagen is separated into districts that are each equally diverse with museums, shopping, restaurants, parks, and bars. yesterday after we checked into our hostel, which is called "sleep in heaven" by the way, we walked around a district called nørreport and we visited the botanical gardens, the national art museum (statisk museet for kunst), and the kings gardens. we went to dinner at a place called klubben.... SO much authentic danish food and really cheap too. then we walked to a 70s-ish bar called mckluud... we tried some cheap local beer and then called it a night. sleeping in a 14 bed hostel room is definitely an experience.... the bunk beds are stacked 3 high! (i'm in the middle, between meredith and ryan). 
today meredith and i decided to take it easy since we're sick, and just went to do a little looking through shops while ryan went and did his own thing. we stopped by a cemetary with hans christian andersen's grave as well. then we went to the carlsberg brewery this afternoon and had dinner at the same place as yesterday... it was still awesome.
tonight we're going to pussy galore's flying circus... not sure what to expect there, but i'm sure it'll be interesting!
so that's all for now... stay tuned.
