I woke at 4, and it was daylight - and beautiful, the city was still asleep but I was awake and out the window a snow white swan glided down the canal outside our hotel window - I wondered why it was also not sleeping - perhaps searching for food, a mate, or just enjoying the solitude before the cruise barges parade the tourists around this postcard pretty city. One can see how this lace has inspired so many stories and songs, and writings. As this trip progresses, there could be more on the question of day and night - and where it all starts.The land of the midnight sun beckons.
Exploring Copenhagen is easy - it is flat, and even with streets with extraordinarily long names, you are able to get around. The main thing is to keep to the footpaths - cyclists have their own lanes between the road and path - woe betide you if you step into their territory. We saw the royal yacht and the Queen leaving on a tour - this country dearly loves their royal family - . The Queen even left with her little royal dog - who seemed very at home with people and attention.
It is sometimes the simple things that mean a lot, and after a few months minus bananas, it is my treat for breakfast. Apologies to those still missing them.
Well, we are off to explore more and exchange the odd word in Danish, it is all part of the travel experience, and hopefully they dont wince too much at the Australian effort at just a few words - it is beautiful language when spoken (just very hard to learn!)
More soon
