Aurora - A walk around Copenhagen





Our sense of time has definitely changed. Our afternoon naps have expanded to after breakfast naps. It's a hard life on board. We walked to Kastellet which is surrounded by a moat and a bit like walking around an army barracks but they didn't seem to mind. Rows of red buildings, a windmill and cannons. I made the mistake of stepping on the grass and was swiftly told by one of the guards to get off the grass.

A pit stop at the big domed church for a magnificent view and warm up. Churches are great when travelling in winter.. Lunch in a Smorrebrod Tapas restaurant. I failed on my ordering through and ended up with one bit of rye bread and a small piece of gorgonzola...and a raw egg yolk! Needless to say, I didn't partake in downing the raw egg.

We walked back to the ship via Rosenborg palace with it's beautiful rose garden and Hans Christian Anderson statue. We both agree that Copenhagen is a 'visit again' kind of place.
