Copenhagen

We're off to Copenhagen on Friday the 20th, our first experience with Easyjet, which was more of a cattle car than Southwest. We started our journey at Victoria station boarding the Easybus for a 1hr 40 min drive to Stanstad airport. We arrived in Copenhagen late afternoon to snow. We took the local train into Central Station then a short walk to the hotel Scandic Copenhagen, great room 12th floor with a view of the lake. Went for a walk to check out the city, walked Stroget street which is a Pedestrian shopping street, with many street going off it, a busy place. Headed back to the hotel as it was snowing and cold. We spent 4 days in Copenhagen seeing all the sights, we walked off our poor legs and feet and got very very cold. We visited the Town Hall, saw Tivoli, Slotshomen - oldest site in Copenhagen, Christiansborg Castle now stands there, which is home to the State Rooms, Parliament, Prime Minister's Office & Supreme court, saw the Stock Exchange with Neptune standing guard, visited the Royal Navy Museum, Christiania (Copenhagen free state), saw the Opera House, visited Rosenborg Castle, watched the Royal Guards march, walked thru The Palaces - Amalienborg there are 4 in this square with the Marble Church off the the side, walked out to The Little Mermaid, she is pretty little, walked back thru Kastellet (Copenhagen's star-shaped fort), went into the Design Museum as they had a Motorcycle exhibit very interesting and right up John's alley. It was very interesting. We visited Carlsberg Museum, the brewery tours were closed, walked thru the Carlsberg Elephant's. And yes we did find the Harley Davidson store in Copenhagen, we walked out to it thru the Fredericksburg Have and by the zoo. It was a walk but enjoyed, we explored the Nyhaven area and then checked out of the hotel to return to London. We got home around 9pm on Tuesday night. Wednesday was back to the routine for me - work. We met friends on Wednesday after work for drinks and dinner, a good night was had by all. On Friday morning John left to return to the states.
