Early morning arrival in Copenhagen but we were in no hurry to do tours as we had decide to wander around town on our own.
Got off the boat and we saw a hop on hop off bus so we tried to catch that. They would accept Visa so I went back on the boat to get it. When I got back they decided that they do not accept visa. But I had left 40 Euros in the cabin when I went for the visa an only had 20 in my pocket. Someone told us about the free train to town, so we caught that and wandered through the town. A pretty town with the look of Copenhagen, with lots on bikes on the roads and trains. The military were in town celebrating withdrawing from Afghanistan. At the palace there were army people and bands. No high-rise in the town and nothing over 5 stories. We spoke to a local who said that Sweden has a very high building and Copenhagen is thinking of doing the same. They are very used to cruise ships here as we followed the thin blue line all the way to the train station. Down by the waterfront, we just wandering through the streets enjoying the first hot day with clear skies since forever. Two 5 euro cups of coffee and we were off again and we wandered up to the Kings Gardens. I thought we had been swindled with the coffee but we met someone and they said they had paid 10 for a coffee – Denmark, like Sweden and Finland, are not cheap places to live or visit.
We really enjoyed wandering through the town. We did this a lot in Europe on the bus trip and we still enjoy it.
