Today we took a Hop-On,
Hop-Off bus to Amalienborg Palace. Actually, it is a complex of 4 palaces in a
diamond shape. One is occupied by the queen when she is in town, one by the
Crown Prince, one is for guests, and the 4th is part museum and part a residence
for another member of the royal family.
We got back to
our drop-off point, and I went into the Visitor Center to get more information,
then we started looking for a place to eat. The clerk at our hotel recommended
a place with Danish food, so we walked about 4-5 blocks, only to find it
closed. So we went to Rio Bravo, across the street, which was in the style of
the Old (American) West, but we ordered fish dishes that I think were fairly
Danish. Both had plaice (steamed or fried), white asparagus, small shrimp and
caviar. Larry’s had both fried and steamed plaice, and toast. Mine was just
steamed plaice, and also had small boiled potatoes. The steamed plaice was
pretty boring, but the meal was otherwise okay. We had draft Tuborg Special beer
with it, and that was good.
After dinner, it
was still raining, so we just came back to the room and hung our coats and hats
to dry. Will work on the journal and plan for tomorrow.
