Copenhagen, Denmark and Warnemunde, Germany - Aug 31 & Sept 1

Copenhagen is a mix of cobbled squares, narrow streets and old buildings.  It has a population of over a million and this is where Hans Christian Anderson wrote his books that children have enjoyed for generations.  We did the Hop On Hop Off tour, and we did a lot of hopping.  We were amazed that so much of the city is under construction, either buildings, roads or squares.  It took us a little extra time to navigate around the city with all the construction.  We saw the changing of the guard at the palace.  And of course the Little Mermaid, which is quit small, Tivoil Gardens and the longest pedestrian street in the world.  It was great to have extra time in Copenhagen.
Warnemunde was part of East Germany and there is still some evidence of this.  It is one of the most beautiful traditional German resorts on the Baltic coast.  It is considered part of Rostock.  There are miles and miles of white beaches. It is a little fishing village.

We had a super tour of Warnemunde.  Our tour guide was Dave of Friends of Dave.  He was informative with a great sense of humour.  He is originally from Florida and ten years ago arrived in Warnemunde and realized there was a great opportunity to offer tours to cruise ships as there was none.  On our tour we did past by his residence and it was great to have him share his personal experience and everyday knowledge of the area.
