A very quick post tonight because it’s late! Rob and I left Oslo at 8:10 this morning for Copenhagen. The trip was in two legs, with a change in Gotenberg, Sweden. Both trains were comfortable and perfectly on time. The scenery was basically exactly like Ontario Canada. Lakes, forests and granite south from Oslo, and more farms and fields as we proceeded south through Sweden.
The Oresund bridge / tunnel connects Sweden to Denmark. Finished in 1998, it consists of an 8 km bridge from the Sweden end and a 5 km tunnel to Denmark.
We checked in to our hotel and walked to the Copenhagen Castle. The area is closed because of a large fire a few days ago at the old Copenhagen stock market. The wreckage is wrapped in twisted scaffolding as the building was undergoing renovations when the fire broke out.
We continued walking through the old part of Copenhagen to the lovely gardens around the Rosenborgc Castle. The blossoming fruit trees were a welcome sight after our last few days north of the Arctic Circle.
Drage the video around with your mouse if you like!
A few more pictures of Copenhagen will be included in tomorrow’s post.
