Day one in Copenhagen. We both needed to rest so it worked out that each of us slept in, we had no set plans.
After our morning rituals we set out to find a ATM to withdraw money...we needed Kroners!
So we walked and walked and finally found the pedestrian area. We felt that for sure we'd find an ATM...but our walk continued up Stroget Street, which is the largest and oldest Pedestrian Street in the World, yet we could not find a ATM. Finally, Richard spotted a Bank sign and we got cash. Out first objective food. Right next to the Bank is Cafe Norden it was exactly what we needed.
The entire brunch I had comes on one plate. I had a Cappuccino to start, then scrambled eggs served in a small clear glass juice cup, also included were 2 pieces of bacon, 2 slices of danish dark grain bread, a slice of ham, a abundant amount of salmon spread, 2 different cheeses, 2 other slices of white bread, fresh fruit preserve, fresh fruit's, raspberry smoothie, chocolate cake and since I got the Champagne brunch a glass of Brut.....yes a lot of food but then again it was breakfast and lunch!
From here we set out for Rosenborg Castle what a collection of Danish History, just amazing wealth and incredible objects. Richard said to me that, you must have been here with Beth. When I went down into the Treasury and I saw the Crown Jewels, I knew for sure Beth and I had been here together before!
We had a quick pint to quench our thirst at Bishop's Arm before walking back to our hotel. Richard rested as I walked along the water and down see the famous Little Mermaid. The sun came out and the day ended beautifully. We ate dinner in a close Italian restaurant as we were craving some starchy food, pizza and pasta was prefect along with a bottle of red, so another great day on holiday.
Our waitress Sonia, a young local women, as asked us incorrigibly, why would you come to Copenhagen on holiday, there is not as much to do here as there is in other cities in the world,
Here are some photos of the day to share and a video:
