Started the day dropping the bags off in lockers at the train station, then heading back to our favorite corner baker for breakfast. Another set of chocolate croissants, coffee and a hot cross bun, and we were ready for the day. Headed north on the S-bahn, getting off at the old citadel, and walking the ramparts, headed for the "Little Mermaid".
Thought we would try and get there before the crowds, but ended up there right in the middle of several tour busses, but still managed to get some good views, and Elsa started a sketch of what she was viewing. Stopped and had a snack of the cheese, salami and bread left from dinner, and to rest the feet.
Then we walked back around to the Citadel church, and fountain, which connected to the harbour - with our time up, we headed back to the bus to get to the train station, where we picked up the luggage and headed north to the closest stop to the ferry
The information all said the terminal was 800-1200 m to the ship. What they didn't say was that the ship was now leaving from the NEW port, wich was easily another 3 km past the old port. Ainsley was a trouper, dragging Andrea's bag (who was carting Mom's) along with her own. Elsa kept up, and made no complaints that her feet hurt. After making it 2 km, we got lucky, and a bus driver for the bus system waited for us at a stop, and allowed us to catch the bus- we got there shortly afterward, very glad we did not have to walk further!
Got on the boat with no problems, and found it easy to get to the rooms as they're 30feet from the door to the port! Headed upstairs where we had a quick bite, got oriented and Elsa and Lora Leigh checked out the pool while the other guests boogied on the deck. Mom and Ainsley took naps, then we headed to the Aqua resturant for dinner, before hitting the sack as I thought we had an early morning.
