4 Days in Denmark

Hey!
Last week I have been on a 4 days journey in Denmark via Sweden. I went there to the Copenhagen Jazz Festival and to see Copenhagen.


Christiansborg Palace
1st Day
I took a flight to Malmo, Sweden but I haven't got an occasion to see this city because my flight was two hours delayed so I was a little confused but I had a chance to see Copenhagen before I went to the place were a slept. At this day I just saw the city center and Tivoli (the place where the jazz festival was supposed to be). Then I went to the small town called Skælskør.


Rådhuspladsen
2nd Day
This day I spent outside Copenhagen in the Skælskør where I slept. Also, I visited the other small town calledKorsør where I saw the huge bridge called "The Great Belt Bridge" between two islands of Zealand and Funen. The total length of the bridge is 6,790 meters (22,277 ft) and the height is 254 meters (833 ft). Rest of the day I spent planning the next day about the concert.




3rd Day

I came to Copenhagen at 10:30 am to get into Tivoli and to change my ticket to the wristband. The whole concert experience you can read here. This day was fantastic even that it was raining a lot. Me and my friends have been waiting 11 hours to see Gaga and Tony! The show starter at 10 pm and finished about 12 pm. Afterwards we went to the hotel to see Gaga and I came back home at 4 am.

Tivoli Gardens
4th Day
After 4 hours of sleep I met with my friends in Copenhagen to see the rest of the city. Unluckily It was quite cold and it was raining all the time so we haven't got chance to do it but we still seeing the rest of the center. Also, we went to the hotel again with the hope that we will see Gaga and take a picture with her but we haven't. In the evening I had a flight back home. However, I had crazy situation at the airport because I was a little late and there were not any information about my flight and the airport was so huge! I was a little confused but luckily I was on time in the gate.

Copenhagen Jazz Festival- Tony Bennett&Lady Gaga at Cheek to Cheek Tour

Hi!
The Cheek to Cheek Tour- one of the greatest jazz tour by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga! I've been waiting for this day since February and the time ran pretty fast luckily. 
The 1st Act of the show
To Copenhagen I came at 10:30 am and then I went to the Tivoli (the amusement park with many attractions such as roller coaster, theater, concert hall and many more and it is also a venue for concerts at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival) which was opened at 11 am. Quickly I changed my ticket to the wristband which allowed me to go out of Tivoli and I went to the concert open air stage. The waiting time was 11 hours but it was worth it. Moreover, I have met many nice people. At that time the weather was so crazy. It was raining almost 3 hours and we have been wet more than 5 times! 
Tony&Gaga singing the first song "Anything Goes"
Gaga&Tony performing second song of the show "Cheek to Cheek"
Perfoming "But Beautiful"
Performing "Nature Boy"
The show started at 10 pm. Tony and Gaga were fantastic. They are one of the best duo I have ever seen! The atmosphere was wonderful and literally I felt like in heaven. It was fantastic to see smile at Tony's face like it was his first concert and to see my idol- Lady Gaga. They have sung 32 songs anyway. Tony and Gaga sang songs such as "Anything Goes", "Cheek to Cheek" or "The Lady Is a Tramp" also they sang singly several songs. Tony sang songs like "Stranger in Paradise", " Smile" or "Sing, You Sinners". Gaga sang songs like "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'', " Lush Life" and Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose".
Gaga singing "La Vie en Rose"
 After this great show which ended a few minutes before midnight we went to the hotel where Gaga was supposed to sleep with a hope to meet her. Hovewer, it did not happen. I have been waiting outside hotel for her for 2 hours but then I had to go home. To be honest I would like to go to this show again but I know that it will not anyway. The European leg of the tour has only 8 concerts. I have recorded some of the songs and you can watch them here.
