Finally, a relaxing day. We spent the 5 previous days touring in ports and I don’t even know how far we walked, but we were looking forward to a relaxing day. We were hoping for some sun and time at the pool. We slept late and woke up to; yes you guessed it, more rain. After a leisurely breakfast, we packed up our suitcases. Later we went to a cooking demonstration followed by a tour of the Galley.
In the afternoon we had Christmas in July including snow. All of the Santa’s (10) that were on the boat for “Santa School” were in full dress for pictures. We took silly pictures with our life vests on – evidently the effects of not enough sun.
That night when we were on deck we saw this very long bridge. The Oresund Bridge connects Copenhagen to Sweden and it is the longest road and rail bridge in Europe. As we went under the bridge it looked so close to us that we thought we could almost touch it. Part of the roadway to this bridge is an underwater tunnel and the toll to cross this bridge is about 40 Euros. The next day we found out that it took us all night to sail around Copenhagen because the boat was a meter too deep to go the short way into Copenhagen.
That night was another amazing sunset. There was another cruise ship sailing beside us as the sun was setting. We met the two couples from Massachusetts for a goodbye drink after I went to the Farwell Show. Looking back on the last 11 days we had a great time, even with all the rain. You can’t let rain stop you from seeing all these amazing places.
