Europe Survey 2013: Inverness Day 4/Copenhagen Day 1

Today was our last day in Inverness. We gathered our things and headed to the bus station. While waiting for the bus it started to rain. Then it stopped and the sun came out. Soon it started to rain again. Meanwhile, the bus was late and while we were trying to look at the phone to figure out when it would come we missed it. I (Libby) was so mad, but God had different plans. We went back to the hotel to call a cab. The concierge called for us and then we stood there chatting with him about the unpredictable weather until our ride arrived. The whole ride to the airport we talked with the driver about life in Scotland, travel, agriculture, and many other things. We had such a wonderful time learning about the people and the culture of this lovely place.
We flew to Bristol where we had a VERY short layover then we were on our way to Copenhagen. Once here, we took the train to the hotel. Surprisingly, we made it around okay even though many of the signs were in Danish. Our language luck ran out when we ordered a pizza though. Apparently, Hawaii pizza here does not mean USA Hawaii pizza. This was obvious when we opened the box and it had chicken and tomatoes and it was SPICY. 
Tomorrow we are looking forward to exploring the city and meeting some people around town. It is already a big difference from Inverness but we are loving the experience of seeing diverse cultures and meeting different types of people. 
On a side note, we are also surprised at how televised the coverage of the Oklahoma tornado is over here. There are some differences in information such as the number of fatalities but it is interesting how invested the rest of the world is in our news.
