The family left the world's smallest room in central Copenhagen and explored the highlights before the afternoon flights. The cooler climate was welcoming and there were few complaints about the overcast, drizzly conditions. Lunch was enjoyed at the Irish owned Irish bar.
Copenhagen really is a people watching kind of town. There are all types strolling through one of the world's longest walking streets or cycling on the cleverly constructed bike lanes throughout the friendly city.
Despite the large July crowds, the atmosphere was relaxed as the masses sat in the open squares, enjoying a Carlsberg or a quality Danish ice cream.
Even the super touristy Ripleys and Guiness museums were not as pushy as they are in other cities. It was a pleasant end to the holiday before the final trek to Oslo and then Tromsø.
The very long day actually moved into tomorrow, following a three and a half hour drive north. Despite the midnight sun, the gloomy weather cast a dark shadow over the fjords. Two days in Hamneidet and back to Øksfjord reality where hopefully an Indian summer awaits...
