Copenhagen between cruises

While waiting for cruise 2 to the Baltics, we are doing a quick tour of Copenhagen and on a mission to find our hotel for later this month. The hop on hop off bus is a relaxing way to preview the city and stop at several places along the way. Still loved Rotterdam and Delft the best, though. Clean, friendly and love their football/soccer. The local team won the championship for the first time in 18 years. The celebration was awesome - lifeboats shooting their form of "fireworks" beside the bridge, cyclists and walkers cheering, horns honking for hours. We made sure to be out of the train station before the game ended. Coming back from Delft, we had ticket problems because the change machine was,broken and our credit cards weren't accepted because we didn't have pin numbers. Funny part is we used our card to buy the first tickets on the same line! They let us into the station but we had to sneak out right in front of a line of policemen staging themselves for the post-game celebration. Got out of there just in time and walked to the Swan Market, a local gathering of artisans, good trucks, music, and vintage goods. Dan had his first experience with European bathrooms with no privacy! I had warned him but his reaction was priceless. All is well and we still having a ball.Read more
