Day 3

Greetings everyone from Copenhagen Denmark,

We woke up a little earlier today to watch the ship make landfall. It is the first day that we have awoken early enough to get breakfast ( Hey don't be jealous, you would if you could too). Then we went back to our cabin and watched the ship pull in to port. As they were tying up the ship we went down to the theater to muster up for our tour. They shuttled us out with what seemed like about 400 other people I think we filled up four or five busses. but then we were off. I had to laugh cause what they called recent buildings were all built in the 1800's. But it is a very nice city, a lot cleaner than other european cities I have been too. As the bus got to the older section of the cities the roads got very narrow, winedy and at some points you would have to take turns getting through certian choke points. But we eventually arrived at the little pier. There we boarded a boat that looked a little differnt. It was low to the water and wide across and must have had 250+ seats on it cause we packed three busses worth of people in it. Then we took off going through the city almost like in Venice. Some of the bridges we went under were very tight so we would have to duck or sit down at certian points. We wound around seing were they had converted old military barracks to high dollar cottages or "flats" as they like to call them. There were lots of sail boats including some that were very old. At the end of the little tour they took us to see the statue of the original little mermaid. The writer for the original story came from around these parts so they decided to make this statue and put it in the harbor for him. After that they dropped us off at our busses for a final tour on land. They showed us there amusement park but kirah wouldnt go on the ride that lifts you up about 300 feet and then drops you back to the ground. Oh well can't blame me for trying ;) When we got back to the ship we stopped in to our room to freshen up a bit then headed back out for some shopping. We endded up picking out a hand blown glass viking long boat inside a glass bottle and a replica of the little mermaid as decorations for the house. Tonight we are going to try to see a play on hans christian anderson and after that a comedy show. So I will leave you for now and tommorrow we will be in Germany so stay tuned for the next great chapter.
