The train to Odense was booked for 10 to 2 so we had a chance to see some more of Copenhagen, and so we had a chance to check in at the other end and have a sneaky peek into the gallery before it closed.
I didn't manage to sleep much for some reason and woke up at about half 4. We weren't overly keen on the weather outside as it had changed from a pleasantly warm and sunny (Suzanne had a little sunburn already) into a cold and wet Edinburgh type day. Never mind though, we
were to try for a different bus tour to see things we hadn't before so we could keep dry while not being stuck (too far) inside.
It was just after one drove off that we discovered that actually the garish purple and yellow buses are part of the same group, so we could have got on them also. Oops. Not to be beaten, we proposed to try to see if the boat tours were covered. They aren't. On they way back from Nyhavn we scored one of the garish buses that was running a bit late on a tour passed the Zoo and the Carlsberg distillery.
It was a good wee tour, off the beaten track a little through 'proper' streets that hadn't been too touristified (yet), and on the way we passed some lovely gardens, one resplendent with a maze and decided that next year we would definitely hop on and off this tour to see more. We didn't have the time by now to get off and explore so we sat on till the end and made a bee-line for 'The Scottish Pub' for some refreshment, but it was closed, so we made do with the coffee shop on the corner instead.
Time to go to the hotel to pick up our bags and the 2 minute walk to the station where the train was due. We discovered that our reserved seats gave us a window seat...well, two window seats actually as for some reason they had placed us behind each other! A swift trade with a charming old lady, and we were sitting together while she had a window seat now so her escort could wave her goodbye properly.
