Cold in Copenhagen

Home of Leggo

We were shocked back into the real world when we got off the ship on Wedensday, the 25th.  Now, we have to do everything for ourselves, starting with luggage.  Not only that, but it is on the cold side here.  We went directly to our hotel which certainly doesn't match Seabourn accomodations.  We could not check in early so stored our luggage and walked all day.  We escaped the cold wind and had a drink in one of the luxury hotels to be surprised by prices.

Copenhagen is a beautiful city and there are thousands of bicycles as it is the mode of transportation.  Beautiful women with high heels riding along with their briefcase, a new mop, and always on the cell phone.  We walked the mile long pedestrian street, Stroget, filled with shops, boutiques and cafes.  Opposite Stroget is the world famous Tivoli Gardens, founded in 1843, which is a wealth of flowers, art and music.  Copenhagen is one of the most historic cities in the Baltic and we plan to take a tour.  It is a great people watching place with lots of young and stylish people. Around 6:p.m. we went to a nearby department store to buy an adaptor and got caught up in a sea of bicycles, everyone leaving work.  There were lots of people on the streets enjoying a glass of wine or cup of coffee  We had an early dinner on the Stroget.  After a long night of sleep we are off to walk the Stroget to the train station to arrange a train trip for the day to Sweden.  Also, we hope to work out our schedule to leave here on a sleeper train.
