30-Aug –Once again we boarded the trolley and followed the directions provided by the Viking representative at the hotel. We decided to visit the Botanical Gardens and the Zoo. We had to change trolleys and the instructions provided at the hotel were right on . . . we visited both locations and then boarded the trolley to the Central Station which was very impressive. All trolleys end-up here. We spent the rest of the afternoon wandering up/down Damarak Street . . . this is a street that connects the main railroad station to Dam Square and the Royal Palace. From here, we hopped on a boat for a sightseeing tour of the city’s canals which has more canals that Venice. Around dinner time we took the trolley back to the stop (Lutmastratt) close to our hotel. A Viking representative in the hotel pointed out a favorite restaurant within walking distance. We ended up at a restaurant called ‘Loetje’. Dave had a steak almost 2” thick and it was so tender it could be cut with a fork. After dinner we headed back to the hotel to pack and get ready for an early morning departure. We were taken to the airport about 6:30 am. In conclusion, I want to say that Viking was awesome; they planned everything down to the last detail and then had contingencies for disruptions. We got to the airport with plenty of time to spare and made it home on schedule. If you have been following this blog from the start (15-Aug) and looked at all the photos, you viewed over 900 photographs. I took over 5,000 photos and am still working on some of those in Photoshop. Thanks for viewing!
