Later today we meet our tour guide and the group of people we will spend the next 3 weeks with.
After breakfast we will wander off with our friends and see more of Copenhagen.
Sunday
Up at 7 and breakfast at 8. Same stuff as yesterday and tomorrow and the next – buffet style.
Met up at 9:45 and off to wander again. We went “downtown” we think. They were setting up markets in the square. Lots of people esp tourists. Everyone had a camera including us. We wandered down a pedestrian street, through construction and strange people.
We made it to the harbour – one side lined with colourful buildings. Lots of boats and ships.
We had lunch in one if the many places along the water. It was basically a line of restaurants from one end to the other. We shared a sandwich, good thing I hardly could finish half.
We wandered the length taking lots of photos and getting in people’s way. We made it to the big canal and turned to go back to the hotel. Lots of people on the water – canoes, kayaks, little barges, rental boats with tables and chairs so you have a picnic as you tour the canals. Also the huge tourist boats that you can take for a hour tour with a couple hundred of your closest friends.
We walked over the canal back to where we had wandered yesterday and came back to the hotel through the park.
We are a little tired – the circle we made was 6 miles.
Back at the hotel we had a coke with lots of ice and got ready to meet the rest of the people we will be hanging with for the next 20 days.
Down to the lobby to meet the guide – Chad – a Canadian from Vancouver, and the rest, lots of Aussies.
We got a general talking to about what comes next and then a buffet supper and drinks. Once that was out of the way we gathered on the coach for our first excursion – to Tivoli Gardens, an amusement park but in the 1800’s. Wandered through there looking at all the old games of ring toss and knock down the bottles. Lots of people wandering for a Sunday evening. The weather was great again today – +24 and sunny. At 10pm it is 16 and clear, got a little chilly as soon as the sun got near the horizon.
Back to the hotel by 9:30. Now to get organized for tomorrow.
