We have jumped on the train from the airport into Central Station
only takes 14 minutes into central Copenhagen

 
Central station

 
Mmmmm Bakery of the Andersen variety!!

 
A 5 minute walk and we are here Cabinn City

 
We are too early to check in but we can store our luggage

 
Thank you for storing our luggage now we can explore!

 
Let's have a look inside the bakery!

 
Amy decided that there was nothing she fancied there?!

 
Central station where we stopped for our picnic lunch before we
jumped back on the train to go and see..........

Beautiful windmill on the horizon

 
The two of them checking out the statue

 
Walking through beautiful gardens

 
A thoughtful man?!?!?!? on the Quay or on a key?!?!?!
He's made of Zinc

 
We are now walking down to see the thoughtful man and
come across some wonderful sites
Frederick IX

 
View of St Alban's Anglican Church

 
Beautiful Gefion Fountain

 
The full fountain view

 
Closer up of the St Albans Church

Oh here we are the pair of them looking thoughtful along with the man!!!!!

 
Buildings around the man!!
Maybe he is just thinking what a beautiful spot I am sitting in?!

 
A queen's topping on this cabin

 
The Opera House across the water

 
Noah's ark but we didn't go in as they were charging a fortune to get in!!


 
Beautiful view towards the palace and City Church


 
Gorgeous fountain in the middle of gardens next to the Palace

 
Jazz hands!!

 
Smelling the beautiful Magnolia
Wonder if our Magnolia in Sulby is flowering?

 
One part of the Amelienborg Palace

 
Guards pacing at 3pm

 
Wonder what he is thinking?
'I've got my eyes on you Mrs' ha ha

 
Another part of the Palace - it was in a square


 
With a statue in the middle

 
What you looking for now Colly The Marble Church is behind you ha ha!!
Don't worry he has been good at map reading he was sussing out where we went next!!


 
The Marble Church 



 
Beautiful Marble Church

 
We are now walking through the King's gardens


 
Beautiful King's gardens

 
Rosenburg Castle and beautiful gardens in front


 
A real moat too with ducks and fish!



 
All the police and security around as the Foreign Minister of Japan was visiting the Castle
we asked a very friendly policeman to find out what all the fuss was about!

 
Which way now my very own personal guides!!

 
So we have walked for ages time for a beverage and snack stop!
 
Amy resting her weary feet too!  She has done soooo well with all the walking!


 
The Round Tower


 

 
Another square

 
Tons of bicycles here!

 
Not sure what that was but it is beautiful


 
Over the canal

 
Museum


 
Walking back to our hotel with the sun shining brightly

 
Thought we would be artistic with the photo's!!



 
The Carlsberg Museum not of the drink variety!!

 

 
Checked in!!

 
So the clue was in the title of the hotel Cabinn City
preparing us for the cruise for sure!!!

 
WOW with all our suitcases in not much room to breathe ha ha!!
The room is 9metres square, wooh!
