As the song says "Wonderful, Wonderful, Copenhagen" We woke early to a fine cool morning and decided to wait until we got into the city before we had breakfast. We caught the Metro minutes from the hotel to Kongens Nytorv in the heart of the city, a trip that took 12 minutes. There was a market being set up in the square which we had to check out, it was a mixture of antiques and craft with some beautiful things in both categories. Di bought a small dish with Hans Christian Anderson's Mermaid on and admired a chic hat. We walked down Nyhavn which is like an up class St Kilda looking for somewhere for breakfast and couldn't believe the drinkers and drunks so early in the morning. It was even too early for David. We found a place called Cap Horn serving a set brunch which was unbelievable, it consisted of yoghurt, muesli, a crepe, egg bacon and chipolatas, smoked salmon, cheese and tapanade, fresh fruit, with beautiful black and brown bread, and big cups of lovely coffee. (It sounds huge but it was just perfect) Next we went on a canal cruise which took us around the inner harbour and through some of the numerous canals that are such a major part of this city. After the cruise Di bought the hat she had admired earlier and we set off to walk the pedestrian shopping mall which is so much like many others in the world, everyone was happy and it was a wonderful atmosphere. We didn't buy much but we did find an Apple Store where we sort advice on our blog which didn't work I'm afraid to say. After a truly great day in Copenhagen we caught the train back to the Hilton, tired but relaxed. We will have a light, early dinner tonight as we have an early flight to England in the morning.
