Canal cruise

Apart from the towers my one other aim today was to ride the extensive waterways of this city, maybe escape the chaos of the streets, maybe rest our feet. Our luck continued and an hour guided cruise was just leaving so we got a fast tour of the city that matches our speedy tour of Scandinavia. I strapped my camcorder to the side of the boat for a timelapse recording and we got to see a large part of Copenhagen not visible from the street. As towers dominate the land, here on the water your ride is frequently interrupted by very low bridges that you have to sit and sometimes even duck for. While on the cruise we discovered we had come to the city on the day of the Copenhagen Iron Man race so across the city we would see crowds of people and tired runners winding through the streets. We also caught sight of a corkscrew tower in the south-east corner that we knew we had to see. And all this time despite predictions of rain we had sun and only light cloud all day.
