Saturday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we went to Copenhagen. We woke up very early and caught a 7am flight. When we got to Copenhagen, we had to wait for Julian to arrive. The airport was busy and crawling with people. I had a chat with you and your Mom but the connection was pretty bad, so I sent you a whole lot of photos of the busy terminal building, including this one.
Once Julian arrived, we caught the Metro into the city and checked into our hotel. Then it was out and about to see some of the biggest attractions. This is one of the most photographed streets in the city…
From here, we wanted to go and see the Amalienborg Palace. On the way, we encountered the soldiers marching from their barracks to the Palace for the changing of the guard.
Amalienborg is made up of 4 identical buildings. One is used as a guest residence, one is the home of the King and Queen of Denmark and their family, one is the home of the King’s Mom, Queen Margrethe II and the 4th is used as a guest palace for the King’s brother, Prince Joachim, where there is also a museum. But otherwise, it’s hard to know which is which.
We enjoyed a few moments of peace inside the cathedral.
Then we took a longish walk to see one of Copenhagen’s most famous statues. The Little Mermaid
My favourite photo of the day was taken on our way home. We passed a lake that was home to this majestic swan.
We arrived back at the hotel & I immediately lay down on the bed and went to sleep! The early morning had caught up with me. It’s very gloomy and overcast but not too cold.
Soon, we will go find some dinner but first, I’m going to shower. Tomorrow, we hope to get on a ship for a week going up the fjords.
Psalm 105:4
Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
