Hans Christian Anderson

The dragon ride finishes back in Copenhagen's City Hall Square. I hopped off and looked for something else to do. On the side of the square by Tivoli Gardens I found Hans Christian Anderson. He was sitting there looking at the rides, maybe struggling for ideas for new stories. So I sat on his lap and tried to help him. He didn't seem keen on my ideas, mostly around adventures of small cute Welsh dragons. He was more interested in short sighted ducks and mermaids with legs. Silly ideas to me, besides there's no such thing as mermaids. Dragons are much more interesting.

Flying Over Copenhagen

Here I am on the dragon ride. We're flying towards The Royal Danish Playhouse, which is on the harbour front. It's a new building, built in 2008. One of the other dragons from the square follows to take the photos. It was a fun ride, you get to see more than on the boat ride.

Dragon Ride in Copenhagen

Another 'dragons only ride'. This time a ride on a large dragon for dragons. Here we are getting ready for lift off. Hope the crowds get out of the way for take-off.

Dragons in Radhuspladsen

I'm in Copenhagen's Rådhuspladsen - City Hall Square. I found quite a few dragons. This was one of three watching another dragon fighting a bull. They weren't doing much to help their dragon friend, just spraying water about. I can tell you that's not the best way to help a dragon. I didn't find out why the dragon and bull were fighting.

I met three other dragons closer to the City Hall. They were larger than the other three but weren't spraying water, so I preferred them. It's easier to have a nice long chat when nobody is shooting water all over the place.

British Pub in Copenhagen

The boat trip has left me thirsty. I found a nice British pub round the corner from the end of the boat trip. A nice handy place to warm up and have a water before continuing looking around Copenhagen. I'm here for a few days so don't have to rush.

Still on the Boat Trip

The boat ride is going well. Seen lots sights - historic buildings, modern buildings, churches, boats and, erm, blocks of flats and cars.

It's getting a bit cold on the water now. Decided to wrap up warm.
