We boarded the bus for our next stop, which turned out to be the final one for this tour. It was lunch, pre-arranged, at a restaurant on Nyhavn (New Harbour), although "new" is a relative term - being about 300 years ago! The canal was built to attract traffic and commerce closer to the city centre, and for many years was a hangout for sailors. It was also the home of Hans Christian Andersen at various times. However, it has now been "tourist-ised", which, of course, is the modern way of attracting commerce to the city centre.
After lunch we were on our own. So I decided to do my usual trick of walking around the neighbourhood, as our hotel was only about 3 blocks from here.
Even on what turned into an overcast day, there were quite a few people around, enjoying the scene, food, outdoors, whatever. And this was a Thursday, so no weekend crowds yet.
Ah, one of the local breweries is ready to serve - and more than just beer.
And this rather ugly cement building seems somewhat out of place with the nicely restored buildings, and not a very inviting place for its intended purpose.
A view of "restaurant row", as one of the canal tour boats passes, and with our own Maria on baord!
The entry to Nyhavn, with another canal tour boat passing.
A nice view of the new Opera House from the (open) end of Nyhavn.
