Copenhagen

On our final night on board we had to rush off from the singing waitress complete with bomb Alaska at dinner for the pop up choir and then the Bridge - spanning between Denmark and Sweden our boat had only a 4m clearance so it was an amazing sight to sail underneath.








We disembarked with most of the crowd at Copenhagen port in the sunshine and then as the sun rapidly disappeared we travelled the city visiting the palace, canals, city hall and finally the hotel. An added bonus was the extra thousands in the city for the annual gay pride parade and also 5 km canal swim complete with many lifeguards.
The rain didn't seem to put any of the Danish off, whether swimming or drinking and parading in the main st, the crowds were out in force.







Mary's House for tea on the $50,000 dollar a piece hand painted tea set.








Copenhagen is, like Oslo and Stockholm and the others full of pretty buildings and water features and cobblestones and very upmarket stores and lovely cafés. We had delicious coffee and Danish whilst sitting alfresco under heated umbrellas in the rain looking at the sailboats moored in the canal. Tomorrow lovely Bangkok and then home.






With love Graeme and Wendy
