Kastrup Airport

On the way back home now. Sitting in the lounge at Kastrup Airport. I've got a nice coffee here. No sign of champagne, but after a search I did find the wine, looks like they were hiding it . Expect the nice people on the plane will rustle up a drop or two though. It's been a nice few days in Copenhagen, fun to meet up with lots of dragons.

Rosenborg Slot

Off to the Rosenborg Slot, or Rosenborg Castle. It's a royal castle in the middle of Copenhagen. The Danish Crown Jewels are on display in the basement. Around the walls on the outside were a number of people. There weren't any name plates. I had a chat with this one, it seemed rude to ask his name. He has lovely views across the park apparently, but it gets a bit cold in winter.

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.

Boat Ride in Copenhagen

I decided a good way to see Copenhagen was by boat. This trip goes round the canals and a short way into the open waters. It's quite a long boat (am I allowed to say that about a boat here??). It's also open so hope it doesn't rain. It isn't a dragons only ride so quite a few people on here as well.
