Copenhagen

I am now positively patting myself on the back for bringing the mac! Drizzling today so on the coach by 9.30 for our sightseeing tour around Copenhagen. First stop-Rosenberg Palace Gardens-not the Palace itself where the Crown Jewels are kept. This was followed by a quick visit to the (extremely) Little Mermaid, the impressive water fountain dedicated to the goddess Gefion, the only Anglican church in Copenhagen, with a plaque dedicated to Edward VII after his death by his widow the (Danish) Queen Alexandra of the UK, the Danish Parliament Building, Amalienborg Palace where my favourite European Royals live (Mary, Fred and the kids) ending up at the multi-coloured canal-side at Nyhavn. Released from the coach, Ted and I then hot-footed it to the Harrods of Copenhagen on the 5th floor to partake of smorgasbord and vino …. When in Rome and all that. It was raining pretty hard by this time so we had a dabble on the Metro and went to visit the Museum to Danish Resistance during WWII which was very interesting. Still battling the rain, following this, we walked back past Mary and Fred’s gaff to Nyhavn to take a picture, saviour the atmosphere and watch the rain over a cold drink. As my ankle was fairly giving me gip by this time we Metroed again back to our hotel and decided to have dinner in the hotel.Read more
