København

Errands can wait so we decided to head to Copenhagen for the afternoon.  A lot people park in the uncovered area, but the sky was dark so we decided to try the double-decker parking area.

After figuring out which train was headed our way, we punched our tickets and boarded.  We realized we still hadn't figured out how to reserve seats, or how to figure out which reserved seats had not been claimed.  Lunch on the train was put on hold so we ate like backpackers at the station.

Just outside the station is Tivoli Gardens, which was enticing, but we decided to save it for another time.  We strolled through town and eventually found the Danish Jewish Museum, which has an interior designed by Daniel Libeskind.

Before heading home we took a canal tour, which was probably the highlight of the trip, despite the rain.  War ships of many countries were in the harbor to help celebrate the 500th anniversary of Denmark's navy, and we were amazed by the size.  The tour was a good way to learn some history and see what we'd like to visit when we return.

Our bikes were safe and dry and we arrived home similarly.
