Jim & Kathleen go to Europe-2013
203 - 218
All over the Baltic we saw wind farms but none as big as we did coming into Copenhagen.
The view from our veranda as we sailed in.
This really cool fort, surrounced by water is at the entrance to the port.
Our view of the city. Construction in full gear.
This lone kayaker must have felt dwarfed as Eclipse passed him.
The Captain and his crew park the ship.
Kathleen is ready for her LAST day of touring.
On the Hop On-Hop Off bus into the city.
Statuary. We have seen so much but it's still cool.
I loved this giant stroller. Hope she's a day care worker and not their mom.
No more graffiti on this theater (the old railroad station) after painting it pink.
Lots of church spires too.
I want to say I at least 10 bridal shops on our HoHo tour.
And this very cool statue in a fountain.
See what I mean.
Sailing ship off the port bow.
Looking back at the Opera House.
The Little Mermaid. Smaller than you imagine.
I really loved the look of this modern building.
There's a long story to this shot. Read it here.
The new subway station.
The entrance to Tivoli, Copenhagen's Disneyland.
Another big obelisk. It's amazing to me how much Egyptian influence there is in Northern Europe.
We walked by and Tivoli hadn't opened yet.
Kathleen with the lampost in front of Tivoli.
A very cool clock on a department store across from Tivoli.
The top of City Hall.
Inside City Hall looking for the WC.
Statuary in City Hall.
A little panorama of the inside of City Hall. Stockholm's is better.
City Hall ceiling.
Outside on the front of City Hall
We pose with Hans Christian Anderson who is looking at Tivoli.
He looks nothing like Danny Kaye. Disappointing.
We look nothing like Danny Kaye either.
Neither do Mike and Carol.
What Hans is looking at.
Statue in front of City Hall.
That will scare the politicians.
Walking around Old Town Copenhagen.
Shawarma? Looked for Iron Man and the boys but no dice.
Major shopping street. No cars!
Danish in Denmark...yummy!
Carol meets a Viking.
Even the people in the Baltic are gilded. Or maybe gelded?
Even the espresso stands are gilded.
Must be strawberry season.
Now that's a bank!
Another gilded guy!
And a fountain. I want the gold concession in the Baltic.
For Mason. The Lego store.
Lego boy!
Great gate.
Crane Fountain.
The fighting Bishop. A man of God.
Nyhaven canal and street.
Very cool.
Very photogenic.
Saw Paul and Gail on a boat ride.
This is as close as you get to the quintessential northern European street scene.
We had lunch here. Good stuff.
Boats double parked.
Great door topper.
I thought this was in Amsterdam.
OK, the teenage boy in me could not resist this sign.
Paul and Gail are done with their boat ride just as we start ours.
I love street photography of the indigenous people.
On our boat tour. Take one if you go.
The new theater.
The Opera House. Very cool building from every angle.
David! How did he get here?
Not sure what this is but it's big!
Now that's an interesting sculpture.
The old military fort.
The Danes have a navy.
And a lot of new sculptures.
They fire these cannon on special occasions (or at least the boat guide told us that.)
Look what we saw on our boat tour. Our cabin is on the other side or I would point it out.
Our tour guide spoke at least four languages. Obviously not American.
People swarm the Little Mermaid.
Crazy!
Kathleen blows me a kiss as I take her pic.
See the two little buildings? That's where the royal family waits to take boat rides.
Another view of the Opera House.
I really like taking shots of this buidling.
A big ferry goes by.
A church steeple you climb on the outside.
See people climbing.
Bikes are a big part of Copenhagen.
This boat isn't doing too well.
I think it needs a lift.
Now these people like flowers.
A very cool piece of architecture.
I loved this sculpture under a bridge.
More Danes on shore.
Not sure what this says but I like the typography.
A very narrow bridge.
More street photography.
The lady doesn't like me taking their picture.
Check out this steeple.
That's one of a kind.
There was a sand castle sculpting contest on the banks of the river.
Some amazing stuff.
Check out the spiral hole.
Even a Euro.
Unfinished bridge ahead.
Back in Nyhaven
Still amazingly photogenic.
More Danes on the street.
Probably tourists.
His ice cream is about to drop into the canal or onto someone in a boat.
On the way back to the ship we passed that statue again.
One heck of a fountain.
A nice church next to the fountain.
We visit the Little Mermaid.
And a few other statues as we walk back to the ship.
There it is. Our home away from home.
That's some bear.
Looking back at what else, the Opera House.
A memorial to a hospital ship.
No comment.
The wind farm.
As we head to dinner I snap a pic of our favorite ship (we sailed Asia on her) moored nearby. Hi Captain Carl!
