Had a very quiet time in Dollar as John took a tumble off my Aunty Liz’s narrow front steps. Lots of rest, anti inflammatory drugs and a folding walking stick from the Dollar pharmacy have allowed him to keep going – albeit slowly.

We arrived in Copenhagen late Saturday night – without my bag. We generally carry a change of clothes on international flights but this was a simple hop from Edinburgh to Copenhagen, no plane changes – what could go wrong? 🤔

Anyway, after finally finding the right counter and filling out forms (make sure you always keep the boarding pass with the baggage tags on – one day you will need it!), we got to our hotel. And I woke up next morning to the ‘ping’ of a text telling me that my bag would be delivered sometime that day.😀

So we set out to explore. We’ve been here before so once we were orientated we were fine. Danes don’t appear to do early in the city centre so it was a quiet stroll through the main shopping area but by the time we got to Nyhavn, the historic port area, for lunch, it was mad – folk everywhere out enjoying the sun, lunch, or just a beer down by the water. After lunch I went for a bit of an explore around Nyhavn and the Amalienborg Palace square, before I met John at the restaurant floor of the Illum department store which overlooks the shopping area. Then we headed back for a break at the hotel.

Had a lovely dinner at a place just around the corner from the hotel that John had found. Then I went for another explore to find The Little Mermaid statue – where everyman and his family were taking selfies! It was a nice walk along the water though.

So here are a few pics of our first day. On a food walk today. John is going to test if he can keep up.
