After a quick breakfast at the 7 11 we visited Tivoli , one of the oldest amusement parks in europe it was founded in 1843. Highlights included the Star Flyer which rises to spin at 80 meters above Copenhagen. If you can keep your eyes open, you get a spectacular view of the city.
Walked over the Langebro bridge across the Sydhavnen to Christianshavn in the afternoon. Hiked to the top of Vor Frelsers Kirke, a 1696 Protestant church with a large wooden spire ontop of the steeple streching some 90 meters from the ground to the top, we braved the blustry wind 400 steps to the top to a great view of Danish Baroque architecture.
Travelling involves getting lost, and that is exactly what happened as we set out to locate the restaurant Oasi D'Italia, a small Italian restaurant in the city center. Here we experienced an relaxed atmosphere, great service and delicious food outside along the sidewalk.
Tonight we will be boarding a night train to Malmo and on to Berlin for a 6am arrival.
Copenhagen has been a wonderful experience, the people here are kind and helpful and the city itself with bustlying communal areas, historic monuments, quiet atmosphere and great location will soon be visited again!...hopefully next time in the summer months.
