Half a day in Copenhagen

Arriving in Copenhagen was easy - go to the automatic ticket machine, buy with a credit card and follow the instructions in English. As there are no reservations on the train it is hit and miss in getting a seat. Having downloaded the offline map for Google Maps finding the hotel was a snap.
Off to find lunch we explored, the neighbourhood was like a lot of area around the main train station - dodgy. A homeless shelter showed up on the map two hundred yards away.

But cafes were open and we had coffee and a beer and a cheese plate - very good.

Back to the hotel and the day was still young! Studying the map it was seen that the world-famous Tivoli Gardens was only three blocks away - a no-brainer. Paying our $25 to get in we meandered around , watched amateur acrobats and yoga people.
Looked in a few stores, studied prices and marveled at the parkland and flowers. Ogled the rides and admired the courage of the riders, especially the ones in the video. A parade honouring the 175th Anniversary of the Gardens was scheduled to start at 6pm. We stayed to watch, a bunch of people dressed in impressive costumes followed a drummer and then danced for a while.

Tomorrow the hopon hopoff bus and the sights
