My wife and I arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark, this morning. We're spending a few days here before heading to Herning, which is where the Bridge World Championships are being held.

The woman who checked us through immigration seemed surprised that we've come half way around the world to play a game of cards!

It's not just a game of cards, was my first thought. My second thought, two seconds later, was hang on, it is just a game of cards. And then two seconds after that, tired from a ten hour flight and then another thirteen hour flight on top of that I thought, dang, she's right! It is a long way to come for a game of cards.

Had dinner at NyHavn. Reminds me of New Regent Street in Christchurch.
