Friday May 6
We are docked across from the Langelinie outlet mall. Convenient!
Our first stop on our city tour was the serene Little Mermaid. There were so many tour buses there, it was ridiculous! Next we stopped at Castle Island for a history lesson regarding Denmark's royal family. Our stop was perfectly timed with the changing of the guard. Bob missed it because he was geocaching. We had some time on our own before returning to the bus for our panoramic tour. From the bus we saw the 1843 Tivoli Gardens, the world’s second oldest amusement park; the new Mearsk opera house; the Carlsberg Museum, home to the city’s sculpture and art collection; Christiansborg Palace, home to the Danish Parliament and the Supreme Court; Børsen, the former stock exchange; Amalienborg Palace, the royal winter residence; the statue of Hans Christian Andersen; Rosenborg Castle, home to the Danish Crown Jewels. Lastly, we were dropped off at the pedestrian shopping street for just over an hour. It was crazy busy, yet there was scarcely anyone in the stores. We let geocaching lead us to some quiet streets.
After lunch we walked more cobbled streets. After 6 weeks of cobbled streets, my feet have had enough! We returned to the Little Mermaid, walked through more parks, and Kastellet. Of course, we found more caches.
More Song and Dance with the Viking Singers and Dancers tonight.
