Copenhagen

Regent Cruises has disembarkation down to a science. We left one of our bags in the hall last night so by the time we were ready to leave, everyone's bags we're sorted in order of departure and the taxi cabs lined up, ready to go. We were lucky that our hotel had one room ready for us so we could head out to sightsee. 


We took a self-guided walk through the heart of Copenhagen.  We decided to not stop at any one site but to see what we could and go back another day to get a closer look. It is cooler today than yesterday and will be even cooler the rest of the week with slight chances of rain. This way we could go to the museums to stay dry. 


This is the home of Hans Christian Andersen so we had to see his statue.  There are many wonderful old buildings from City Hall to numerous churches, the University to fountains and from numerous small squares lined with cafe tables to the extremely busy pedestrian shopping street called "The Stroget" (STROY-et). 


We took a canal cruise and saw the Opera House, the Royal Danish Theatre, a palace, lots of boats, and the back of The Little Mermaid.
