Day 2 - Copenhagen

 

Started the morning a bit later than planned, but mainly rested - some had slept, some had fallen out of bed - and headed out to see what to do for breakfast. Ended up at a little bakery just outside the trainstation, 3 min from the hotel, with a wonderfully nice man behind the counter - 7 coffees/hot chocolates and 8 pastries later, we were ready to start the day. Lora Leigh has shots of all the pastries tried - Ainsley was heard to say she liked dessert for breakfast.

Started the day walking down the main shopping drag/pedesterian walk next to the Rathaus - where we saw a bunch of 'dragon' statues, a bride headed to her wedding, and which is also the home of the H.C. Anderson statue, where we of course stopped in on, before heading down the street.

Several shopping stops ensued, to the souvioneer shop for the new sticker for Elsa's bag, to postcards for Uncle Harley, Seeing the fish peticure, we stopped for lunch at a trunk sale by a local theatre group - selling all the costumes from past performances, so made for a fun event to see what would walk by next.

 

Continued down the street, then headed through a Saturday morning market, and to the famous canal waterway and street - as you can see, it was a pretty day out! After that, headed up a street towards the main castle, reaching it by walking through the King's garden. At the castle, we toured up through the 3 stories of the history of the royal family (including bottles of wine from 1615 in the cellar, with apparently enough left at current consumption rate for 300 more years). After the climb up the spiral staircase, we went to the throne room which included the Rosenburg Tapestries).

We then headed to the treasury.

 

 

 

 

Enjoyed the throne room.

 

 

 

Then, after we walked to the current home of the queen- after seeing their guards, Elsa photobommed the shot (shortly after having her complain that her feet hurt) before we took the bus back to the hotel where we had dinner picked up at the supermarket earlier. And all heading to bed to get ready for ship tomorrow.
