Hi family & friends. After 21 hours flying & 3 at Dubai airport, we emerged into a beautiful sunny afternoon in Copenhagen. The taxi driver said it was 28 degrees & it felt like it. After settling into our hotel, we went exploring. Everyone was out along the canals riding bikes in shorts & t shirts (some young men ditched the t shirt) & no helmets of course - not compulsory here. Some people were swimming in the canals, sunbathing, having picnics on boats & plenty were sitting in cafes. We took an hour long boat tour of the canals which required ducking our heads a number of times to go under low bridges (see pic). One of the newer buildings we passed was the Opera House (photo) - we remember that the Sydney Opera house was designed by a Danish Architect.
After the canal tour we had a lovely dinner in one of the many outdoor cafes along the Nyhavn Road. We have two more full days in Copenhagen & it is certainly a lovely city so we are looking forward to exploring it much moore.
It looks very pretty. I was going to look up the blog with the kids at dinner (and mark the map) but forgot! And then there was piano practice, reader, homework, two books for Ash, finishing The Game of Life game with Luke (we had started on Sunday), wrangling SJ to bed and Masterchef semifinal! I think I need a holiday too...or just bed time. It's going to be a top of 10 degrees tomorrow here so enjoy the glorious sunshine there!
