A day exploring Copenhagen

How civilized to have a day before we start in the theatre. I spent mine wandering about the streets of Copenhagen following wherever my nose took me - so delicious! Here is some of what I saw.

Denmark is known for it's bicycles but I didn't imagine to what extent... here is one in gold at the top of a tour!

A construction site for a new metro. I was struck at once at how orderly it all is. Nothing like the sites that I see around Montreal.

This is called 'the round tower' and so it is. It is attached to a church is the oldest observatory in Europe. It is a beautiful slopping space that winds one up to the top of the tower.

from the top - the bridge in the distance takes one across the water to Sweden.

View out the window of the 'rundetaarn'.

The royal palace. The place visiting hours were over but the gardens around are there for all to enjoy.


Queen with palace and bird.

What a surprise to find myself next in a tropical forest in the greenhouse of the botanical garden. I walked around a fair while outside before realiszng that all the doors are open and one can wander in and enjoy.


The green-house.

A swan very happy to show off his lovely wings.

This is the first time I see double decker bike racks. You have to put all those bikes somewhere!
