Copenhagen to our ship

Hans Christian Andersen the beloved Danish author.
He is best remembered for his fairy tales. 

September 4, Copenhagen to our ship. We booked a morning walking tour that is an introduction to what the Danes call hyge. Our tour guide was a 20 something native of Copenhagen. We learn that is mother is a Danish doctor practicing in Norway and his father is Indian. He had a wonderful take on things in the city and Danish life. Hyge is hard to describe and has come to mean various things but it appears to be the good feeling that one has when they are content with their life. The 60 plus % taxes because they don’t have to worry about social services like healthcare, education and retirement.

Walking through a Copenhagen neighborhood on our tour.

After our tour we collected our luggage and head off to our ship, the Nautica by Oceania. It’s a smaller ship that has about 600 passengers. We have a very nice greeting and are quickly on board and in our stateroom, which is very nice. After some rest and exploring the ship we have a very nice dinner at the main dining room. We chose the mussles, and grouper, followed by a bit of ice cream. Then off to bed as things had caught up to us.
