What a charming and walkable city! Reminds us of Amsterdam in its flatness,
>canals, bicycles, and friendly people. Took a canal boat tour today and saw
>an amazing diversity of architecture, both modern and ancient, all mixed
>together but done so aesthetically. Even got to see Hans Christian
>Anderson's 'Little Mermaid' statue in the harbor. Weather turned drizzly by
>mid-afternoon, so we came into the lounge at the hotel to warm up and have a few snacks which will serve as supper.
>Our flights worked out fine, and the info people at the airport convinced us
>that taking the train into the city would be easy and infinitely more
>reasonable than a cab (maybe a quarter the cost). So these old coots managed that, including pulling our suitcases through the streets to our hotel a few minutes from the central station. Worked out fine. Must admit made us feel young again, when we used to do this.

>Tonight we plan to go to Tivoli, one of the most famous landmarks in
>Denmark, a combination amusement park and city park. Apparently they do
>really neat things with lights at night which we're looking forward to.

>Tomorrow we get on the cruise ship.
