June 27 – Copenhagen
This morning was delightfully warm and sunny, a great day to
showcase another beautiful city. I was
struck by the wonderful architecture, both old and new, and how well they
blended together. We walked across the
city before it got crowded then meandered our way back to the ship. We ran into Wayne and Nancy by a canal and
the four of us decided to take a canal boat tour of the city – loved it! It was wonderful to get another perspective
of the buildings. Denmark has the oldest
monarchy in the world and we saw both the palace and the royal yacht. We didn’t tour any buildings in Copenhagen –
not enough time and it seemed nothing opened until noon on a Friday. Shon fell in love with the city and would
love to return but it is a very expensive city – almost $6.50 for a regular
takeout coffee and $48 for two beer and two glasses of wine!!!!
Tonight is our third ‘gala’ night so we are having showers
and getting dressed up for the final time.
Tomorrow we will pack up our room in preparation for disembarkation the
next morning – we will put our big suitcases out in the corridor tomorrow
evening for the porters and keep what we need in our daypacks. Hopefully,
leaving the ship will go smoothly so we can catch our bus to London. One night
in London before we fly home. This has
been an awesome trip in so many ways – truly a memorable experience.
And these are the Stockholm photos:
