Copenhagen

Had a very pleasant interlude here in Copenhagen and now looking forward to joining our cruise early afternon today. The port is close to town so we located it yesterday and know where we are going today. The weather is still nice and fine though there is enough of a breeze to harness for those big metal windmills you see dotted around the place where we are staying, in a big youth hostel on the outskirts, but near an exhibition centre where we are going today at look at a Danish design expo. Walked around the place for 6 hours or so yesterday and found old haunts from 40 years ago. Denmark is still clean and green. We are enjoying the food - had those lovely open sandwiches for lunch yesterday and are enjoying the buffet breakfasts - lovely creamy joghurt , nice cold cuts, marinated herring and crusty rolls. Walked for 6 hours yesterday so felt exhausted at the end of the day but fine again this morning. Nice comfy youth hostel.
