Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid
Copenhagen waterfront
Lunch with Don and Patty
Bike built by committee
Before we got on NCL’s Jewel, we met another couple named Don and Patty, and they had owned a Rialta. We quickly became friends and toured several cities together. We left Dover and after a day at sea, we stopped at Copenhagen. A statue of the Little Mermaid greeted us before we started our walked through town. It’s a pretty harbor town. We managed to find a little local eatery where (we found out after we got the bill) they didn’t take dollars, pounds, euro or credit cards. Don and Patty bailed us out with Danish Kroners after a trip to the ATM.
Our next stop was Warnemunde, Germany, a fishing village which grew into a seaside resort. The water was too cold for swimming, but each incoming train was loaded with Germans looking for a Holiday break. After a walk around the small town, we took the train into Rostock, a historic city with a very crowded pedestrian shopping district. Portions of the old town’s wall and gates remain standing.
After another day at sea, we stopped at Tallinn, Estonia. This turned out to be the most beautiful day of the cruise (and the month for that matter). We enjoyed walking around this old, walled town.
