After breakfast this morning we head off for a canal boat ride. It is a bit cooler than yesterday with cloudy conditions and a temp of 21. The canal ride takes just over 60 mins and is very relaxing and interesting. We have confirmed a story our guide told us yesterday, of an incident in 1982 where a Danish warship accidentally fired a missile which destroyed a number of houses, fortunately not injuring anyone. It became known as the whoopsie incident. It was interesting to view parts of the city from the water. We had to duck a few times as the boat went through some very low bridges.
After the boat ride we walked around to see the little mermaid. It was pretty crowded and then we walked back to our hotel and had some lunch. After lunch we headed off to the Tivoli Gardens, the fun park that inspired Disneyland. On the way we stopped into the LEGO store to view some of their creations.
The Tivoli Gardens is very like Disneyland, and we have learnt that it is the second oldest amusement Park in the world and Walt Disney was inspired by the park which led him to building Disneyland. Walking through the park you can see the similarities.
It has been a long day but a very enjoyable one. We have a few beers and then hamburgers from the gasoline grill near our hotel. It is a petrol station and hamburger grill. Great hamburgers.
Tomorrow we board our ship and leave Copenhagen behind.
