We docked in the late morning in Copenhagen and I only took the included shore excursion as I was pretty tired. Marilynn and her friend Nancy took a boat ride. I guess the highlight for me was the Little Mermaid and Amalienborg Palace where the Danish Royals live. Seeing all the people and news types standing around waiting for the Queen's children to emerge on their way to school was strange for an American. Yet we do that for politicians I guess.
After sunrise the light on the windmills is wonderful.

This is a huge trash incinerator. They are going to build a ski jump on the roof. For real!
The Opera House of Copenhagen.
Our dock in the inner harbor.
Interesting house boat!
