sunday evening we arrived in copenhagen...the plan is to stay until thursday. at that time ginny and dan will return to the states and i will start my turkish adventure with byron, joce, haakon and allegra johnson-pihlaja...
on our first evening in copenhagen we went to tivoli...it is a small amusement park in the heart of the city...it was a perfect evening...
the gardens were amazing...
on monday morning we hoped on a tour bus...the tour was poor so we bailed on the bus and walked for most of the day...here are the larsen sibs early on in the ride...
we got off the bus to see the little mermaid...she is the hans christian andersen mermaid that was the inspiration for the disney film...
we abandoned our tour bus at the mermaid and ventured out on our own...
polser or hot dog stands are all over the city...
we stopped in at the "marble" church...ginny and can not resist...we mark our spot...
this is taken from inside the church...no stained glass here...
we made our way to the palace and caught a changing of the guard...
there was a tesla "shop" and dan and i could not resist a look...
we hit nyhavn for lunch...
theses elephants are everywhere...all painted differently...themed...
gin takes a minute to rub hans christian andersen's knee...
on monday evening we visit old friends...
