Back to Copenhagen


Today they kicked us off the ship so we caught a cab to the Marriott in Copenhagen. Since we got there by 9:30 am, we had a lot of time before we could get a room so we headed out on a walk. The Amalienborg (Royal) Palace was about 45 minutes by foot so we headed there and got some good pictures. The official changing of the guard is at noon, but at 10:00 they had a small ceremonial changing which was cool to watch. Then official church of the Royals (called the Marble Church) was there as well.
After having lunch to break up the walk back to the hotel, we waited for our room which is very spacious, then headed out to Tivoli Gardens. It is a very neat place to walk around. Has some Disney-like features, but is much older. I was fascinated by a bubble fountain they had in the center court. Very neat! I took a short video of it since it's really hard to explain. We also found a Cold Stone Creamery in Tivoli so we just had to have a shake after our Trellenborg sandwiches. Thankfully the waiter told us that hakket oksekod was ground beef and kyllingbryst was chicken! Oh - a Trellenborg is a loaded bacon cheeseburger.

So tomorrow we pack up and fly back to Detroit. Been a nice trip, had great weather and a very good time.

That all sounds great, but I think the biggest question on all our minds is this: Did you eat any danish while in Denmark?? :)

Danish in Denmark? LOL
Actually that was the first food we ate as we shared at a coffee shop upon our arrival.
