Into the City - A Copenhagen Pictorial

 On our second day with the 3's, we actually went into central Copenhagen.

We went into town on the train. Upon arrival we were reminded that this, like Amsterdam, is a very bike oriented culture.


We meet up with our guides. One was quite pleasant. The other had this sort of 'Amsterdam attitude' toward service.

We headed off to a Royal Castle (any building over the last three centuries that had a royal even stop over is pretty much a castle here)


In the royal garden

Agh, our creepy guide again.

What does is this person contemplating

Our guide tells us it is where she left her shoes

In every city there are unique aspects

For example, I don't know of another city where a country's consulate would share its location with a Thai massage place?

And I am not sure where else we tout the virtues of organic beef with gasoline fired grills

A large, very important church

Statues of important people in weird poses outside the church

I sneer therefore I am

Less big, less important but still very nice church


AGGGHHH CRUISE SHIP GROUP

On to the harbor

Tall ship

Very quaint looking harbor front with colored buildings that are representative of nothing else we've seen in Copenhagen

With traditional Danish full building burger advertisement

I really do want to know why 'welfare chicken' is so desirable. I am suspecting the translation did not exactly come out.

I am thinking it is more like we raise the chicken with their welfare in mind...Until we kill and eat them.

Miscellaneous

It is a little known fact that before every Viking invasion back in the Dark Ages there had to be a system for getting the Vikings from their towns and farms to the harbor.

What do you do when you encounter a cruise ship group? I'm picturing you crouching down and covering your head with your hands as you do for a tornado or earthquake.
