Copenhagen Part II

The stylish new boots I bought for this trip have rubbed attractive sores on my heels and ankles. I asked the front desk for bandaids and they brought me some gauze.(?) Luckily I found a Danish version of bandaids at the train station and limped around Copenhagen in my comfortable but unfashionable tennis shoes. My hair is a frizzy mess in all this humidity. So much for looking good. It's also pretty cold and windy here. We did a lot of walking because we kept getting lost. The Danish Jewish Resistance Museum was full of pictures and videos of survivors telling harrowing stories. There was even part of an electrical fence from around one of the concentration camps. The sun came out in the afternoon as we walked along the ocean to see the Little Mermaid. A delicious aroma lured us to a woman stirring a vat of hot roasted candied almonds. It was useless to resist them. Yum. A 10 story cruise ship took us on an overnight trip from Copenhagen to Oslo. We left in the late afternoon and sailed into the setting sun, which, by the way, never did really set. We had a tiny little room with two bunkbeds. These cruises are very popular and always sold out. There are duty free shops, lots of entertainment, singers, kareoke, disco, even a theater, and big buffets with every kind of food imaginable. Next stop: Oslo, Norway.
