July 8 Day 25 Copenhagen


-->
We woke up to a pretty sunshiny day. We all agreed that this was the time to go on a boat canal tour. We took the train a few stops in and walked around the very touristy area near the harbor.

We went to a very old church, Church of Our Savior, where we explored the interior.  We were especially amazed at the two large stone elephants at the rear of the sanctuary.  And then tried to climb the spire, but it was closed. Walking around the area, there were chances for photos on every block.


We picked out the place for our canal tour and were off. It took us around one hour to view many of the really Lovely parts of the city of Copenhagen. It is a city that was founded on the water and there were many really interesting buildings , stories , and new and old sites to see.


Patti was struck by the fact that it was in a couple of buildings one of these canals that Hans Christian Andersen write many of his famous fairytales. After the boat cruise, we found a HC Andersen shop which Patti, of course, needed to go into and get her photo taken. Very, very cool!


We had lunch at an area where they focused on “street food”: burgers
and fish and chips and pizza, as well as beer, or course. We are in Denmark after all.

We walked back so the church and Dick,Lars and Julie climbed nearly to the top. It was a steep and crowded climb. Patti opted out and fell asleep in the grass below. She was just plain tired.



Back to the apartment for a light dinner. A lovely day in sunny Copenhagen The four of us have been working our way through a long list of touristic sites in the city and doing quite well at it. At one point Patti found a list of places in Copenhagen you should see before you die. Pretty good so far.
