We got up early this morning for our tour of Copenhagen. We had breakfast around 7:30 and then met up with the rest of the family at 8:45am for tour check-in. Although we all booked the same tour, we arrived and checked in at different times and each family had been assigned a different group number. Kent generously offered to go up with all our tickets and get it straightened out. He got all but 2 of us together, but Mom & Dad were still in a different group. Michele managed to talk another couple into switching groups on the pier, so we finally were able to get all together. Lesson learned for next time: Check-in together as one, big group.
Our walking tour started right at the cruise terminal docks. We saw the famous “Little Mermaid” statue and many other interesting sights. The weather was great: Low 70’s, clear skies & sunshine. I enjoyed the walk and took lots of pictures along the way. The boys behaved themselves very well, although they did complain a little toward the end. We worked our way through the city and finally ended up the river docks for a boat tour. The boat took us around the harbor and then dropped us off back at the cruise ship around 1:30pm.
By now, I was starving and could not think about much else besides getting lunch. We hopped back on board the cruise ship for a quick lunch at the buffet. After lunch, we dropped the kids off at the club and Michele and I headed back off the ship to do some shopping. We decided to skip the shops just outside the boat and catch a taxi into town.
We got out near the Tivoli gardens, but we only had about an hour before we needed to head back to the ship, so we didn’t go inside. Instead, we did some shopping. Next, we walked a couple blocks to the Ice Bar. We paid for the one-drink minimum to go inside. Next, they outfitted us with some parka’s and led us down a few stairs into the bar. It was REALLY cold in there! There were only a couple other people inside, so we had plenty of room to walk around and take a few pictures. We enjoyed our cocktails served in glasses made from frozen river-ice.
Time was running short, so we finished our drinks, left the ice-bar, and hailed a cab back to the cruise ship terminal. We made it back in plenty of time, so Michele stayed out to do a bit more shopping, while I picked up the kids from the club. Cameron was having a great time in there with Sofia and did not want to leave, so we left him in until 5pm.
At dinner tonight, we did kids at one table, grown-up’s at the other. The kids behaved well –they all had their faces buried in their iPod Touch’s. We had a very pleasant meal and enjoyed reliving the days adventures. Tomorrow is a day at sea, so we are looking forward to sleeping in and relaxing most of the day.
