Wonderful Copenhagen

Our first full day in Copenhagen, and I mean full. We left the hotel at 7.00am and got back at 10.00pm. We explored quite a bit yesterday in the rain, but today was lovely. Not too hot and no rain. The people have been very friendly and almost everyone speaks very good English. A few people we met recommended the Tivoli Gardens and I would say if you only do one thing in Copenhagen it would have to be that. It is a bit hard to describe, part amusement park, part music venue,part gardens and plenty of places to eat. We went there yesterday and back again today.

Building in the Tivoli gardens lit up at night.

We escaped from the rain yesterday by going into the NY Carlsberg Glyptotek. We expected to be in there for about an hour, but ended up dragging ourselves away about 2 and a half hours later. It holds a magnificent collection of Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman Art.

We also did a canal and harbour cruise today, a lovely way to see the city.
