After work flight to CPH and a meet&greet with the business folks from Maersk. Early night for Em...not so much for Todd!

Maersk Olympics for Todd where he became the reigning champion of kayak & catapult! He has bragging rights for one year. Emily toured the city by boat and by foot -- covering nearly every inch of it. Seeking shelter from the sporadic rain storms, the Round Tower & Cathedral received a little bit extra time. Beautiful views from the top of the tower

Hired bikes to tour the city together. Our first stop became our "regular" breakfast spot: Oscar's. Provided us nourishment & caffeine for our day of sightseeing: we watched the changing of the guards at the Palace, took photos of the Little Mermaid, walked along the ramparts of Kastellet, cycled to & around the Rosenborg Castle & Gardens, saw the "Wild Europe" exhibit; played at Tivoli & had an AMAZING hot dog & free roller coaster ride

A lazy morning and a long breakfast at Oscar's. We toodled around Christianshavn for much of the day. Cool neighborhood vibe & again funky design. Grabbed the metro to the airport and loitered around the fine food store eating salmon samples until our plane was called. Fun weekend!
