Copenhagen, Denmark

We arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark this morning.

We disembarked the ship and headed by taxi to our hotel.  We're staying in the Hotel Bethel in the historic Nyhavn district.

Hotel Bethel

After checking in, we walked down the Stroget, a pedestrian lane.  Then we visited the Cathedral of Our Lady.  The nave is lined with statues of the Twelve Apostle (all clad in Roman togas).  They were sculpted by Danish artist Bertel Thorvaldsen.  At the front of the church is the statue of Christ, also clad in a Roman toga and sculpted by Thorvaldsen.

We came across this statue of Hans Christian Anderson as we continued our walking tour...

Then we took a canal boat tour, which departed from Nyhavn.

Also taken on the canal cruise.  Notice the church steeple is made up of crocodile tales that have been twisted together.
