No breakfast included in our room for the next 3 days. Why get up early then…. When away there are a few constants. How good are the showers, how comfortable are the beds and where do we do the next washing effort. This morning was a washing moment. S,S&S then sort the washing. Don’t know why coz it’s all going in the same machine. Pack the bags and away we go. Ask reception if by any chance they have laundry facilities. Haha. Nope. Get directions to one they know of. Walk that way and eventually find it, after Chris has accosted a guy in a footwear shop asking if he know where to go. Nice young guy who points out where we are going. Not far. Has a chat about how nice the weather is and ... read more

It’s hard to believe that another year has passed. I reached the milestone of 70 years old, and somehow Jody just keeps looking younger every year. After last year’s post-Covid hectic pace of 2 Caribbean cruises, a week in Sanibel Island, a trip to Spain and Portugal, and a River Cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest, we decided to slow things down a little. Though we did take a Caribbean cruise in March, and plan to take another in September, our only major trip this year is this current trip, using Insight Vacations for the third time, to Spectacular Scandinavia and Its Fjords. The trip begins in Copenhagen, Denmark, passes through Stockholm, Sweden and ends up in the Fjords of Norway ending 15 days later in Oslo, Norway. The weather here is cooler than last year’s trip ... read more

12/9/2022 Maandag Kopenhagen Korte verplaatsing naar Kopenhagen, hoofdstad van de fiets met een overvloed aan bezienswaardigheden. Drie koninklijke paleizen, een veelheid aan kerken, Tivoli, het Radhus, winkelstraten, de 2 toeristenpleisters Nyhavn en Den Lille Havfrue. En nog zo veel meer. Men heeft minstens een week een gids nodig om deze prachtige stad helemaal gezien te hebben. Het is de derde keer dat we hier rondtoeren. Vandaag nog eens vluchtig met de fiets op een Komoot fietsroute. Nog nooit zo veel fietsgevaar moeten trotseren. ... read more

We are in Copenhagen for the day, but more importantly, this is the first port Susan and I’ve been able to visit together. Oh, it feels so good getting out of the room. We did the included walking tour of the town. It turned out to be over 4.5 miles. The first stop on the tour was the Little Mermaid statue in honor of Hans Christian Anderson’s book the Little Mermaid. We then saw the Royal yacht and continued to walk along the water front. We saw the royal residence (even though the Queen was not there now). On the walk back to the ship, we saw the old military residences and the oldest building in town followed by the military fortification before heading back to the ship. After lunch, we took the shuttle back into ... read more
