Spent one day, 2 nights in Copenhagen so had to make the most of it. First thing in the morning was at the front door of the Danish National Museum for opening. Spent all morning in this fabulous building which houses some of the greatest Rune stones I've ever seen. Saw almost everything in it including yet another excavated viking ship. Had lunch there too. Then ran down the street to the palace where I visited the Theatre Museum for about 20 minutes before it closed. Ran across the courtyard to visit the ruins under the houses of Senate for about 20 minutes before they closed. That was followed by a nice long, leisurely stroll through the Thorvaldsens Museum which is full of some of the largest and not so large sculptures of one of Denmark's most prolific artists. Then stopped at a nice Italian Bistro on the way back to my hotel to have Italian food (could not find a Belgian restaurant anywhere).
The next day I got on a train for Stockholm where I caught the 5:00pm ferry to Helsinki. This is an overnight trip that arrived at 9:30 am.
More about Helsinki tomorrow. Pooneh is sitting next to me waiting to go eat supper. I'm in England now. Got here, to London, June 3rd.
