DENMARK - COPENHAGEN

Saturday morning (after meeting Rebecca’s lovely boyfriend Stephan) we jumped on the train & went to Rebecca’s work to grab her bike - like in Holland, everyone rides bikes here. We went into the office to have a look around as I am always fascinated by other people’s work space (the first photo is of Bec & her boss sitting at her desk). Then we went to get a bike for me. They have what are called free bikes all around the city where you just put money in the slot to unchain the bike & then you get it back whenever you finish with it. Like getting a shopping trolley at the supermarket. You do kind of stand out as a tourist though as the wheels on the bike are filled in & there is a map of they city on the handle bars (see photo 2 of me looking glamorous on the bike). It was great to cycle around everywhere looking at all the touristy stuff, although it was slightly weird as I really felt like I should be wearing a helmet & giving way to everyone.
We went to the Town Hall Square, the main shopping street, the markets & then on a boat tour in a part of town called Nuhavn which was really great. Bec hadn’t done it before so it was nice for her as well. There is some great architecture - old & new - that you can see really well from the boat (the third photo is only one of many I have taken). We also got a look at the Royal Yacht (the last photo) which wasn’t as flash as I thought it would be. Don’t get me wrong, it was really nice but as a Royal Yacht I thought it would be really over the top & flashy.
Naturally we stopped for waffles & icecream & the waffles weren’t anywhere near as nice as the ones in Holland.
