D-day: The Big Move Phase 1 (The day we caught the plane)

So, hello Copenhagen.  After a month of organising followed by a 2 day maelstrom of packing and final house snag list reduction, we have made it to Copenhagen with the contents of our house packed into 180 boxes on to a 40 foot trailer currently somewhere between our home (in England) and our new home (in Denmark).  Somewhat eerie seeing the house emptied of all its contents, however it has never looked better.  A new carpet was even laid the morning of leaving!

The trip over was pleasantly uneventful apart from T being the wriggliest 1 year old in history in between charming the stewardesses.  No aborted plane landings unlike the last time we all flew into Kastrup.  The taxi driver at the airport looked a little apprehensive at first at the amount of luggage that needed transporting but tetris like we squeezed it all in.

Whilst we wait for our own beds to arrive, we are in an apartment in Christianshavn.  A very 'edgy' neighbourhood bordering on Christiania where there are no laws.  I think we are exploring it tomorrow, any trouble and we will set T on them for whom wrestling is a newly found pleasure.

As Copenhagen shuts down from tomorrow for Easter, a quick trip to the local shops was required for supplies.  The supermarkets experienced so far in Copenhagen seem far from super but maybe it's just the unfamiliarity.  Irma for the more upmarket experience, Super Brygssen for the everyday essentials.

On our visit to this area in February, we discovered the 'Spicy Kitchen' restaurant and takeaway on Torvegade, run by some very friendly Afghans and serving some very passable Indian like (Afghan?) fair.  So what better way to settle into our new city than with a curry.  Welcome to Copenhagen!
