Princess Mary

No, we didn’t get to see the Princess but we had a wonderful time in Copenhagen. It’s a city with a really cool vibe, a little like if you crossed Amsterdam and Antwerp together. Cool and laid back, trendy and arty, fashionable and smart. The Danish seem to have their own style going on. And all seem to be young and pushing massive trendy 1950's prams around! The canals and houses are beautiful and the city is small, the only down fall is that it’s really expensive.
We had fun going on a canal cruise around the city and the ‘free’ state of Christiania, seeing the Danish Orchestra and Opera singers playing for free in Fælledparken, rummaging through antique markets, playing in Tivoli Park and seeing some fine art at New Carlsberg Glyptotek. Oh and chilling out with some drinks on the canals. Makes for a perfect weekend!
The view from our hotel room on Nyhavn. Love the colourful buildings! And our view!Nyhavn on a Friday night
The Antique markets, we bought an old little clock for our kitchenSal on top of the round tower admiring the viewsStaking our claim before the concert started. We're actually at the very back!
The neon lights of Tivoli Park
We went on a massive swings ride that was actually a little scary. It went really high!The little mermaid. The number 1 thing to see in Copenhagen. I wasn’t impressed…The beautiful canalsA very different sculpture at New Carlsberg Glyptotek
