Splendour of the Seas
Port of Call
Doing Our Own Thing In
Copenhagen, Denmark
July 13, 2000
Port Report by Lois A. Evensen
These are a few snapshots
of our walk around Copenhagen.
In earlier years we have walked into town from
where Splendour docks, but this time my
husband,
daughter, and I took a taxi .
It was a beautiful Friday evening so the streets
were crowded
with party-goers, tourists, souvenir vendors, and
entertainers.
The shops were closed, but it was fun to window
shop.
Everywhere we looked
we saw photographs waiting to be taken.
An important early stop
was the same mini-bank we had visited last year.
So many people were enjoying this "new harbor"
area that was new hundreds of years ago.
We looked for a place to sit for a warm drink,
something to eat, and to "watch the world go by."
The evening was chilly.
Some of the restaurants had heaters and
offered lap blankets.
We settled in to watch the parade of people pass
by.
We had planned to have dinner here, but the breeze
became so cool that we decided to have only a hot
coffee,
then go back to the ship.
We had eaten in town in previous years and highly
recommend it.
Taxis are not hard to find here. The drivers
don't waste any time at all
getting where you ask them to go. In fact, we
recommend you fasten
your seat belt and, if you are scare easily, close
your eyes.
This and the following photos were taken out of
the window of our cab.
The sunset was fabulous.
From our moving cab
I kept clicking the camera
knowing the photos would be somewhat blurred,
but the colors would be fantastic.
As we rounded one last corner, Splendour
came into sight.
She's not rocking: this photo is tilted and
blurred because of the speed
the driver took on the corner as I tried to hold the
camera steady. |
