Copenhagen on foot...good shoes a must!

If you’re going to take on 3 hours of walking through Copenhagen, Denmark (or anywhere else for that matter), you’d better have good shoes! I thought I was a smart traveler, but today I definitely wore the wrong shoes (well, boots, actually). Bob and I got a late start on Copenhagen as a result of a jet-lag sleep-in, but we finally set out for downtown Copenhagen with a camera, and a map. Well, actually, a camera, a map, too many clothes, and the wrong shoes. But, who knew? The weather when we got up was a bit cool and overcast, so we went “prepared”, but our “prepared” status, soon became “overdressed” and “hot”. Nonetheless, Bob navigated us through the streets of downtown Copenhagen with ease. I’m so glad to have such a map-savy husband considering my navigational challenges! Let’s just say, around every corner lies a photo op. From beautiful parks, to bronze and copper statues, to the famous “Little Mermaid” to the lined with colourful buildings and surrounded by old boats, Copenhagen is a picture waiting to happen. The beauty and diversity of each city is a testimony to the creativity of our great God! “How great thou art!” Even in the wrong shoes, I tried to drink in the beauty of the city, but was, I must say, excited to see the boat when we finally rounded that last corner. Once we got on board, we both flopped on the bed and took a nap. I think jet lag is still pulling us down a bit, but it won’t be long until we’re over that...maybe tomorrow.
