Day 836 - Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark



We arrived in Frankfurt around 10 a.m. and had to walk at least a mile (and through two security points) to our connecting flight to Copenhagen.  We made our flight, arrived in Copenhagen around 2 p.m., bought our 3-day Copenhagen Cards and took the metro to Norreport, then an S-train to Osterport.  We walked about 300 yards to our hotel Adina and settled in.

I should have been dead tired but I was too excited to be back in one of my favorite cities in the world.  Copenhagen has such a magical storybook charm to it that it's hard not to hear Danny Kaye singing in the breeze.  Alice and I took a short walk around our area, about 15 minutes south of city center near the Little Mermaid and a star-shaped 17th Century fortress called the Kastellet.

We continued walking up and down streets, bought a plug adapter which we'd forgotten to pack, and checked out a few bakeries we were planning to hit hard the next morning.

The wonderful streets of Copenhagen!

Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talking about!



 After 30 years, it was such a thrill to be back in Cophenhagen!


After our walk, we bought some food and supplies for the night and headed back to our hotel for a proper Copenhagen welcome.
