Copenhagen - day 2

Tina McInerney

I went for a bit of a walk around our hotel in the morning and found interesting streets and shops. We were out of town but still an easy walk into the Centre. Good to be out a little as you see a bit more of the people who live there other than the tourists and you find better places to eat. 

Aftrr that we went for a walk around the town, visited 2 of the local palaces, had some lunch on the pier, walked some more. At the end of the walk, we visited the famous Tivoli gardens. I am not sure what I was expecting but we weren’t so impressed. It was like an up- market Luna Park with flowers and grass, rides, eating venues etc You had to pay for the rides which would make it expensive with kids. There were little concert venues for performances at different times of the day, some of which were free. We had a walk through and left as we had had enough for that day so had a drink and tea then back to the hotel. 

Some snaps of Copenhagen-  

the Radhus (town hall)   we went inside - pretty impressive space.

Hans Christian Andersen- people sit on his knee and have their photo taken. I had to ask people around me if I could have a turn without anyone posing in front of him!  People almost jostle each other trying to get a turn in front of all these statues.  Instagram/ Facebook has a lot to answer for!!
