Our first port was Copenhagen. We started with breakfast, a necessity for two Swingle women.
Then we hopped a bus for a city tour. We saw the classic Little Mermaid statue. It was built in homage to Hans Christian Anderson's famous tale ... but no one from Copenhagen can understand how it got to be such a big deal.
Then we saw some other sights ... fountains, the Queen's Winter Castle...
Tivoli gardens turned out to be less spectacular than we had originally hoped. It turned out that we were there at exactly the wrong time to see any of the performances, so it was basically an Epcot Center crossed with a Six Flags for kids. We amused ourselves anyway, and then used the extra time to plan our next stop.
Rosenburg Castle - the home of the Danish crown jewels.
We navigated our way back to the ship on foot . . . just in time.
