Aurora - Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Thank goodness for calm seas going into Copenhagen. We walked from the terminal into town via the Little Mermaid. It's easy to spot her, she is always surrounded by tourists. We walked to Amelianborg Palace, home of the royals. Unlike the British Royal Family, the palace isn't behind big gates, and the Royal Family walk around and it's not uncommon to sea them. A quick pit stop in a quaint café for coffee and cake - £15!

Back at the palace, we packed our things in a locker and went for a wander around the gorgeous palace. Home of Queen Alexandra, wife of Edward, once King of England. the best bit was that we were allowed to take photographs in the palace.

Onwards for lunch in Nyhavn, which I remember from my previous trip to Denmark. Nyhavn has beautifully coloured houses and old ships moored alongside. We had a very long lunch to warm up before venturing to the Christmas Markets in the darkness. A walk to Tivoli gardens but we decided to not go inside as rides aren't really out thing. By this time we were shattered so ventured to find the metro to get back to the ship. And success, we made it back safely for our overnight stop in port.
