this promised to be an exciting day -
and after docking at Kalundborg
we left the ship early ...
ready to see the sights ! |
| |
 |
 |
|
After travelling from Kalundborg for
about 2 hours we arrived here in Copenhagen mid morning -
it was very very hot - about 29°
and so we were glad the coach had good air conditioning !!! |

This is
the old Nyhavn harbour
where Hans Andersen lived
at one time
The
whole area is very beautiful;
full
of coloured houses and is a big tourist attraction |

Our tour guide, Avril, was wonderful, and
showed us as much of the City of Copenhagen as we could wish;
there was a public transport
problem that day, so lots of people out in cars -
so it took us a long time to
get around...
|
|
here are some of the many City
Views

We stopped for lunch early,
about 11.30 a.m.,
at a lovely restaurant
called Copenhagen Corner |
This is on a very busy corner
... and avoiding the traffic
was difficult!
As you can see there are
impressive
buildings all around |
 |
 |
| |
 |
Copenhagen
Corner
was a lovely place and soon after this photograph was taken all the
other coaches on our trip arrived . so it was good we had got
seated! as then it was full to bursting with visitors - all enjoying
a traditional buffet put on by the proprietors |
| |
| |
| |
|
After lunch we boarded the coach
again for more sightseeing
as can be seen here |
|
|
| |
|
 |
This is
an old, decorative telephone kiosk!
They are
no longer in use for their original purpose
and
now have a new lease of life as refreshment kiosks -
and
are very attractive |
| |
| |
|
| |
No
prizes for guessing what this famous
landmark is - no not me !
...in
the background is
The
Little Mermaid ...
and
it is as lovely as you hope it will be |
 |
|
|
 |
as we left the mermaid and drove on
this shop appeared in view
and it is very very old
full of hand crafted work
it is a famous landmark |

The next
part of our trip was our favourite;
the
waterfront tour by boat -
departing
from the old fish quay
we again
saw many previously seen sights
from a
different angle - cooler,
more
romantic
and very
impressive ...
check out
the wonderful views below ...

|
|
| |
 |
and
on our return we were
privileged to see
the only remaining
fish seller left in
Copenhagen |
| |
|
and sadly drove out of the City
through the old part on our way back to the Saga Ruby |
|
|
|
 |
this took in some lovely countryside
and all in all it had been a spectacular
day out in Copenhagen ... |
