We arrived at Copenhagen around 7 AM. This morning I was up early and managed to see the sunrise over Sweden. I didn’t realize that Denmark and Sweden are located so close together, just a narrow strip of water in between. We had a shore excursion booked for 1 PM. First we were thinking taking the shuttle into town in the morning, but cancelled that idea. That would be a little too rushed, instead I decided to do some paperwork, like paying bills and taxes. By 1PM we got on the bus and it took us for a drive to Tivoli Gardens, an 180 year old amusement park. Disney Land Ind the USA got its roots from Tivoli. We were given an hour and a bit to spend at the park. This was basically just enough to buy an icecream cone and a souvenir. There was not enough time to go on any rides. For a park this size you need a whole day to see everything. After the park visit we did some site seeing from the bus and made stops at the Opera house and the Little Mermaid. The Opera house was build in 2005 at a cost of 370 million USD. Apparently people jump of the roof into the ice cold water of the harbour, an 27 meter drop. The Little Mermaid is a statue sitting on a rock in the harbour. On 2 occasions in the past vandals cut her head off.After the Mermaid stop, we returned back to the boat. During the sail-away we enjoyed the spring sunshine and sipping on a glass of wine.
Cheers
