Booking last minute flights to New Zealand from London at Christmas time, is to say the least, not for the faint hearted. It was made slightly better however, by the subsequent purchase that sh1tty December day, of £90 return tickets to Copenhagen for a few weeks after I returned in February. It was a grim, grey weekend but we were pleasantly wooed by Copenhagen's offerings, and now that I've also visited Norway in spring, I'd say this city most likely deserves a summer return. Maybe next year..

Copenhagen seems to have asserted itself efficiently on the culinary map, thanks in no small part to Noma winning restaurant of the year 4 times. While Noma wasn't on the itinerary, we found the more accessibly cool Kodbyens (meat district) area of Copenhagen and discovered some gems.

Yes, this is a pizzeria. But a very cool one!

The cocktail above inspired further bottles of wine on returning for chill time at the apartment, and finally finding where the locals go out, on a 4am stroll.
A trip to the Carlsberg brewery seemed the perfect ticket after a Sunday lie-in and before we zipped back to London that afternoon.
