\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning we wake to another beautiful day, clear blue sky and promising to be quite warm.\u00a0 We keep being told that the weather is unseasonably warm, although there is a cool breeze blowing across the water.<\/p>\n

The view from our balcony is fabulous!<\/p>\n

As we leave for a day of sightseeing we walk down to the harbour bus (ferry) and look back to the apartment block we are staying in that sitts out in the water, it’s a beautiful building that won architectural awards when it was built.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We catch a ferry right into the centre of Copenhagen which a very leisurely way to start the day, passing canals filled with boats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we arrive in the centre of town we walk along a canal stopping at the old palace that is now the parliament building.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We wander through the cobble stone mall area of the city that is crowded with tourists & shoppers.\u00a0 We stop at the Lego shop to admire the window display.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

We take a ferry cruise around the canals of Copenhagen leaving from Nyhavn (New harbour) which is crowded with sailing boats being overlooked by beautiful old multi coloured buildings.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

The trip takes us past the glass opera house, warehouses and the Royal Yacht up to the Mermaid on the rock.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We pass the pavilions where the Royal family wait before they board the Royal Yacht.<\/p>\n

At one time we think we are in Florence as we pass a statue of David on the side of the water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We get glimpses of churches as we wind our way through the canals back to Nyhavn.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"\"\"Sailors church that looks like a spiral is a challenge to photograph it appears between the bridge & tree.\u00a0 The weather is so hot that the locals are our sunbathing on the decks and swimming in the canals.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After getting off the ferry we decide it’s time for lunch and we cross the bridge to Christiania the hippie part of Copenhagen, where we have a smorgasbord (Danish open sandwich).\u00a0 We opt to sit outside in the restaurant to soak up some sun.\u00a0 The sandwiches are delicious.<\/p>\n

As we head back to catch our ferry home we pass Tivoli gardens and the central train station which has a great double stacking system for bikes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We decide to have dinner in our apartment and enjoy herrings, cheese, meats and bread with a glass or two of wine on the balcony of our apartment as we watch the sun set over the harbour. We’ve had a fabulous day in wonderful Copenhagen.<\/p>\n
