Copenhagen contains many canals that ring the city, so we did a boat tour that covered a portion of the city. Nonetheless we saw lots of neat sights and expect more tomorrow.
While we haven't had a bad meal yet, we ended today with the best one yet. We picked a fish restaurant and stumbled in. Once again we were in over our heads. White table cloths and people dressed very nicely and when the Maitre'D asked, "Reservations?" Uh, no. But, then somehow they found a table for 2 to "squeeze" us in. Lucky for us. Great, great food, service and atmosphere. Menu had many different ways to go but we went with the Sustainable Menu - all local - 4 Courses. Plus some little extras they included tonight. If I tell you that the first 3 courses were trout, mussels and torbot (a local fish) your mental image would not be accurate for what was on these plates. (Desert was a rhubarb ice cream with rhubarb and white and dark chocolate accents.) As you can tell by the type of establishment this was, Larry did not have the courage to pull out his camera and photo these dishes. Thus, all I can do is just tell you how wonderfully pleased we were and glad we found this place. Was the first time we've come out anywhere after dark on this trip, since it doesn't get dark now until around 11 pm. But, we found our way to the train station and back to our hotel.
Part of our day we spent going to Tivoli gardens. Beautiful park. Flowers, ducks, and amusement park. When I asked a lady for directions to Tivoli Park. She said she'd never heard of it. When I spelled it, she says, "Oh...Tuu-lee." (Like 'Julie.') I, of course had said, "Ti-vole-ee."
I'll post some pictures below from the day. We'll see how many I can post. The only food item pictured was a Chicken sandwich at a sidewalk cafe today. I'm sure I have returned to blimp proportions after all of this.
One more day. Looking forward to sleeping on the plane home.
Later.
