Ok, yesterday’s post was a bit chaotic. I was exhausted, but I wanted to get something on line while we had internet. Today I have some time, so even though I am on the ship, I think I will recap Copenhagen a little better.
We took a bus, two trains to get to Copenhagen. When we arrived, about noon, we asked someone if they spoke English, of course the first question, and if they knew where our hotel was. He looked up from the paper I handed him and pointed right across the street.
Our hotel backed up to the railway tracks. Luckily we both use cpaps, that helped cover up the train noises, which, really, were no worse than street traffic noises. Since we had been to Copenhagen before, on our trip out to Europe, we were not going to run around this time. First we needed to get some lunch and then dinner, so we decided to walk to the port where we would be going the next day, and see how far it was and whether we needed to take a cab or not.
So off we go. It was a lovely day and a Sunday. We found a train station about 3/4 of the way to the dock, so we knew how we would get to the train, but we found no restaurants or food stores. We walked to a different area and found an open food store. We got excited until we asked if they took credit cards,…. only Denmark chip cards. Same from a 7/11 type store. We got directed to a “fast food” pizza place. Yup, he was open, but he took no credit cards are no Euros. He felt sorry for us and decided he would take a 10 Euro note, which here in Copenhagen only buys one sandwich, which we shared.
We never found a place to have dinner, so we ended up having an ice cream from the hotel, since they would put it on our bill, and their free coffee and shared an apple we had left over from the farm. See, everything works out.
In the morning, since it was now Monday, we were able to find that the grocery store across from the hotel was open and did take visa. Happy day. All went well and we made it without incident to the ship.
Boy……is she big.
