A walk along the Nyhavn Canal

A visitor sightseeing craft on the Nyhavn Canal passes us. On the opposite side of the canal, is the medieval crane on the left hand side, with a Danish naval craft beside it. Next to that is the Danish Royal Yacht. 

 

From the port at Copenhagen, we left the ship to find information about accessing the museums in the city centre. We like to use the local public transport and therefore went on a mission to buy travel tickets from visitor information on the quayside. We were able to pick up maps, and continued our walk to find the Danish equivalent of Thames Clippers were taking visitors along the river estuary. we came across a marina, groups of twittering sparrows feasting on seeds and insects in the long grass, and views of the estuary. There we were able to view the Danish Royal Yacht and an intact medieval crane.

   We were still seeking the information to travel on the local trains, buses or metro, when we walked on to the Little Mermaid statue, who was attracting crowds from the coach and open-top bus tours parked nearby. The Little Mermaid, who sacrifices herself for love, but becomes immortal, is one of the enchanting stories by Danish author Hans Christian Anderson friend of Charles Dickens. My favourite Hans Christian Anderson story is the Snow Queen, which, although very different, is the basis of "Frozen."

    Still hoping to find the information we were seeking, we found other attractive sculptures in the park before we abandoned our mission, and walked back to the ship, to study our maps
