We
decided to take a boat tour. It was supposed to be a "hop on - hop
off" tour, but were were informed that type of tour had ended the day
before along with the end of the tourist season. So we took the 2 hour
tour. It was very interesting and I'm glad we took it.

The Nyhavn area - used to be
notorious for bars and prostitutes .. now very fashionable. Hans Christian
Anderson once lived in the gray building. |
This was once a light-house boat that is now a restaurant. |
"Get ready to duck" our guide tells us, this is one of many low bridges.

Hmmm...ok it is a low bridge and we did duck. |
I see no injuries so I guess everyone ducked. |
