Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Another day, another wonderful city. Copenhagen is truly a beautiful city, busy but still retaining charm.
We decided to walk from our berth toward the centre, passing Copenhagens most famous resident on our way. Apparently she's off to China next year (much to the disgust of 85% of Danes) so we have been lucky to see her.



We then wandered past the Royal Palace (4 buildings around a octagonal court) and eventually reached Nyhavn, the old red light district, now occupied by restaurants & cafes. From here we took a trip along the canals, passing under some very low bridges (even Victoria had to duck!) This took us past more of Copenhagen than we expected, and before we knew it the 60min trip was over.



Continuing our efforts to try traditional food, we had a fantastic hotdog followed by a Danish pastry (it seemed rude not to).

Despite the best efforts of the map (another terrible copy) we walked a loop round the city centre and headed back towards 'home' along the canal. Victoria took some great photos along the way and we even managed to get close to the Little Mermaid for more pictures.
We are now sat onboard with drink in hand waiting to depart, not that we really want to leave. By bedtime tonight we'll have left the Baltic behind and we'll be heading home via Bruges.
