A 2 Country Day! (7/3/24a)

Bob and I had a great day today exploring the waterfront area of Copenhagen by boat, and then taking a 40-minute train ride over the Oresund Bridge to Malmo, Sweden. We ended with a drink at the Nimb Hotel on the grounds of Tivoli Park, which we had seen promoted (both the hotel and park) on an international hotel show that we saw while in the UK.

Due to the amount of photos, I’m going to break today’s activities into 2 blogs — one for Copenhagen and one for Malmo.

The Copenhagen waterfront is active with pedestrians and bicyclists on the 13k hiking/biking trail and people enjoying the water in kayaks, small rental boats, harbor taxis, and tourist boats like what we rode in today. During our 1 hour tour, along with the cultural and military sights, we also saw a boat that picked up trash, a lifeguard boat as well, lots of moored houseboats as well as some floating houses, and a couple of swimmers.

The opera house, where they perform opera
but also hold an annual diving contest from off of the roof
The Copenhagen Incinerator,
which incinerates garbage to produce energy,
but the outside of the building has a rock climbing wall
as well as a ski slope.
A still functioning military site
The popular Little Mermaid statue.
Bob and I have also seen the duplicate
along the waterfront in Vancouver.
Going under one of the many low bridges
Going down a residential quiet zone canal
The spire of Our Savior’s Church which can be climbed. The church also has a 4,000 pipe organ from 1698.
Some colorful buildings along the route
The circle bridge in front and the Black Diamond behind.
