gollygoshgumgoonz: Copenhagen

We left Paris and dropped 10 degrees by the time we arrived in Copenhagen, which was noticeably cooler. It was early in the morning and we couldn't check in until 6, however we dropped off our luggage before heading into the old town centre to brows the shops, and the Christmas markets.
On the second day it rained so we had a rest and spent the day sorting out all our stuff and doing some washing. By afternoon the weather had improved so we headed out to the fabulous Tivoli Gardens. These have been going since 1843 and are the second oldest operating amusement park in the world (Dyrehavsbakken, also in Denmark, is the oldest).
Barry and I visited the park earlier in the year but now it has been transformed into a Christmas winter wonderland. There were markets everywhere selling hot spicy gloggi, as well as all manner of winter warming foods, decorations, and Scanic goods.
On our last day we took a boat tour from Nyhavn. This took us along the docks and canals and gave us a bit of historical context to the city.
Finally the last day arrived and it was time to say farewell. Bernie and Kelly would be travelling over the next two days, while as I simply hopped on a train and was home within 3 hours.
