Well I&#8217;m getting practiced at packing and 15 minutes later I was ready!! I wonder what a Smorgasbord is? Here is part of the hotel we arrived at &#8211; apparantly a converted warehouse.\u00c2\u00a0Why do\u00c2\u00a0they need canon &#8211; to keep me away?<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image250\" alt=\"Admiral hotel, Copenhagen\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/admiral-hotel-0807.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nJohn was on the phone as soon as we arrived, in the taxi and whilst checking into the hotel &#8211; I was thinking that we would never get to see anything. Then at about half past five he says &#8220;I&#8217;m going to see Den Lille Havfrue &#8211; The Little Mermaid&#8221;, well I was in his pocket before you could say Hans. Here I am looking up at this statute &#8211; I don&#8217;t really see what so many people see in her, John says she gets over a million visitors a year! She was 94 years old just a week ago!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image256\" alt=\"Den Lille Havfrue (The Little Mermaid)\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/den-lille-havfrue-0807.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nWe then wondered back through the harbour area, I saw some swanky yachts. I wanted to go on board but John just carried on and ignored me.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image253\" alt=\"Yacht in Copenhagen harbour\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/yacht-0807.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe spire on this church looked stange, but it was a long way off over the water so I couldn&#8217;t get any closer.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image252\" alt=\"Church with spiral spire\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/spiral-spire-0807.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe we went past the Royal Palace &#8211; there were guards outside &#8211; lookd very menacing with knives on the end of their guns. John said they were bayonets and that if I didn&#8217;t get a move on they would use them against me.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image251\" alt=\"Royal Palace Copenhagen\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bearhugs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/royal-palace-0807.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nSo we went back to the hotel. The next day John had meetings all day so I will had to fend for myself. It was raining so I took advantage of John&#8217;s absence and had room service &#8211; you can get anything you want by dialing 7. They had some good programs on the TV all about the Little Mermaid and other attractions. I&#8217;m going home again tomorrow &#8211; I will hide in the luggage\u00c2\u00a0to keep out of John&#8217;s way &#8211; he hasn&#8217;t seen the bill yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There I was peacfully sleeping and John came down stairs, woke me up and said that if I wanted to go to Copenhagen he was leaving in 10 minutes.
