Just a small aside regarding Norwegian cuisine.

| Eat this at your own peril |
This morning we do a walking tour of Copenhagen
 |
| We are welcomed to Copenhagen |
 |
| Free street food-what a surprise, nobody has helped themselves to the kale |
and discover the best cheesecake shop in the world and also learn other interesting fun facts:eg. the cyclepaths here are known affectionately as the kill zone; if you want a cheap meal in Copenhagen, go to Berlin; the word cyclepath is derived from the word, psychopath;Australians here are venerated because of Princess Mary; on New Year's Eve in Copenhagen be scared, be very scared. So it turns out that the government doesn't provide public fireworks display, this is left in the hands of the general public; so a city full of alcohol fueled Danes with open slather on incendiary devices, what could possibly go wrong?
We are warned to stay inside tonight and not open the door to anybody; however we have a dinner booking in the heart of town.
All afternoon we can see and hear fireworks going off all over the city; at 6pm there is an eerie quiet as the whole population turn on their TVs and listen to the Queen's speech and then it is on for one and all. We notice many of the locals are sporting goggles and protective clothing so we follow their example and off we go to dinner

| The Hofmanns are kitted out for dinner |
which turns out to be marvelous at the Marchal restaurant.
 |
| Chico roll? |
 |
| Fireworks on the plate |
We make our way back to our apartment at 11:30 and now the place is going absolutely nuts with fireworks
