We had a nice breakfast seated by the window in the Steakhouse eating area. It was very nice because there were only a few people, which made it very relaxed, with no line for the omelets and the rest of breakfast.
After finishing packing, we went to check how close we were. We are on the wrong side of the ship to see Copenhagen as we sailed in. Still too far away, so we went back and sat out on our deck in the sunshine.
We saw the big long bridge connecting Sweden to Denmark.
We arrived right on time and backed into the dock. We took pictures of landmarks of the Copenhagen skyline that we would get to know better during the 8 days we would be in town.
Because we are young, we decided to just walk the 1 ½ miles to our AirBnB apartment that we are staying at this week. It was a nice day out. We were a little concerned with the neighbor though, as we walked past this lamp post.
We arrived, walked up the 5 flights of stairs, and met the owners. They showed us around the huge apartment: living room, dining room, den, kitchen, master bedroom, guest bedroom, and bathroom with the washer/dryer in it.
They left, we unpacked a bit and by then it was time for lunch.
We had a walking tour planned for 2pm, so we sauntered through town on our way to our meeting place, the Dragon Statue across from Tivoli Gardens.
The description of our tour led us to believe that we would be learning how to photograph Copenhagen landmarks. What it ended up being was a walking tour of the landmarks and the guide taking our picture in front of the landmarks.
Amalienborg Palace
Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid statue is VERY popular.
We made a nice 3 hour loop through the city and ended up at a spot where there were a lot of places to eat, Torvehallerne. We choose Brioche Doree and had Croque-monsieur and quiche. Delicious.
From there it was a mile walk back to our apartment after picking up groceries for the week.
