Copenhagen by Accident

We wound up in Copenhagen! This was a bit of a surprise because we booked tickets to Stockholm. But we booked them with Air Canada, so we should have known better than to expect to get where we paid to go. So we went for a walk down to Nyhavn, the waterfront area.

Image

That’s where all the sailers and fishermen used to land, so the area was known for booze and prostitution.

Image

But then they cleaned it up and painted all the buildings pretty colours.

Image

So now it has “gentlemen’s clubs”, which sound so much classier.

Image

The pretty colours reflect in the water.

Image

They reflect in everything.

Image

We went for a boat tour of the canals in the rain.

Image

Did I mention that it was sunny in Stockholm? Thanks Air Canada!

Image

We got to see the backside of the little mermaid statue.

Image

And this weird dragon building.

Image

It’s pretty hard to tell that they are dragons without binoculars.

Image

And the opera house with the roof that serves as a high dive into the canal.
