Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Harbor.
Somehow, I only have two photos from Copenhagen. I will check Mike's camera again.

We left our hotel in Luebeck Saturday, October 9 (according to my book) and walked to the train station. the train arrived and it was a small two car train. We thought, this can't be right because we are going all the way to Copenhagen. Little did we know... and let me tell that it is always good to get reserved seats on the train because this one was packed and I'm not sure that we would have had seats if we hadn't reserved them. As it was, we had to kick people out of ours. Anyway, the train went to the ferry port and then drove onto the ferry! Everyone unloaded and spent the 45 minute trip eating at the restaurants and shopping in the stores. The ferries are like cruise ships so there is alot to do. Then, back on the ferry and away into the Denmark countryside we went. We stayed at a new contemporary hotel called Wake Up Copenhagen and walked from there to the old town. Copenhagen is a big city with lots and lots of tourists. We had to walk past Tivoli Gardens (the oldest amusement park in the world) and it was totally decorated for Halloween. Very cool. However, it was closed for some reason, so we didn't go inside. We just wandered around old town and went to the old palace to see the crown jewels. There were some amazing things! Then it was down to the harbor for drinks by the water and people watching. We only spent one night in Copenhagen, so the next morning we took the train to Malmo, Sweden.
