Bummer, this is our last morning on Legend of the Seas and this is my last morning view (pic. 1) before coming into Copenhagen. These were very interesting (pic. 2); I'd never seen windmills in the water before. Actually, this is the Baltic Sea.
Since we weren't flying home until Saturday, we booked a bus tour of the city that dropped us off at the airport (we stayed at the Hilton which is attached to the airport). After we left the ship and found our luggage, we then found our tour bus (pic. 3 - thanks to Tracy for the picture). Our tour guide, Hanna, was funny and kept us entertained!
Some of the sites we visited: The Little Mermaid, she's 101 years old (pic. 4), Legend of the Seas off in the distance (pic. 5), Noahs Ark (pic. 6), the Queen's Palace (pic. 7) (on a side note, the Queen is a figure head only and has no powers; while we were there, we saw her motorcade bring here into town from her winter place to meet with the Japanese Ambassador, who also came to the palace while we were there), one of the guards (pics. 8 & 9), a picture of the Queen and her hubby on the left, and her son and daughter-in-law (who is Australian) on the left (pic. 10), the train stops all have bicycle parking lots (pic. 11), an old telephone booth converted into a coffee shop (pic. 12), and McDonald's (pic. 13), and finally, a little coffee/sandwich shop selling Seattle's Best Coffee!
After we checked into the hotel, it was time to find something to eat. The airport is out of town so we walked back into the airport to find a quick lunch (pic. 14). Yep, you read that right, 7-11! We were hungry and it tasted good, even if it was 120 Danish Kroners, which is equal to about $20.
After lunch, we also found a Starbucks in the airport (pics. 15 & 16). I only drink their mocha fraps, and Jim had a double espresso!
I watched the Legend of the Seas cruising out of Copenhagen (pic. 17). I was sad to see her leave without me!
After a dinner of hot dogs and potato chips, we took a little walk to stretch our legs since we were lazy all afternoon and saw this sign (pic. 18). Hmm, I know the left part of the sign and I know the middle part of the sign (gas) but selling dogs at a highway stop? Haha, it's a grocery store! But had we known McDonald's was within walking distance we would have gone there for hamburgers!
And finally, my last 12ing picture of the trip (pic. 19).
I had already published my final picture of the day until I saw the sunset (pic. 20)!
