16/5 Copenhagen

Saturday 16^th

C distinctly sub-healthy but we wandered ashore and set off in search of the Little Mermaid. 

Little she is and quite picturesque but hardly a major work of art – must be the romance of the legend.  Nearby we came across the Danish Resistance Museum, which was free and had wi-fi! Fabulous. The museum was interesting if not compelling. They had a lot of homemade guns and a homemade armoured car. There was relatively little sabotage and ambushing – Denmark was a sleepy backwater and they didn’t want to provoke retaliation against the civilians so they mostly printed newspapers and broadcast radio messages. And, if they are anything like Monty Python’s Popular Liberation Front, passed a lot of sternly worded memoranda.

And there I stayed for 2 hours while J gadded about Copenhagen. The Eagles are still top of the ladder and there are a few hotels near the airport in KL.

We made it back to the ship for our Last Lunch L and had a nap before our first recent appearance at dinner. There was a bit of a performance clearing up our cruise account then we set about spending the cruise credit. This took some time, around watching the last music quiz. J couldn’t help herself and won an MSC CD case – hadn’t seen one of those before.
