The choir began practice while we were there

After lunch we decided to walk it off by going along the river . Walking under London Bridge we heard a familiar tune .

 

 

 

 

The Silver Wind was next to the Belfast

When the bus came a lot of " ladies" came out of the woodwork cutting line , pushing and shoving to grab the few empty seats on the hot bus .

The Taxi ride from the Copenhagen Airport takes about 30 minutes and costs about $70 . We had a short line at about 11 AM and sat about 30 minutes before boarding .

Hi Joe,

I know I have seen some of these before in your other report, but these are so great to see again. And being here in this forum may help some planning their trip.

 

We hope so.
