The Round Tower and Nyhavn

The day started shrouded in sea mist. This failed to lift even after we had travelled the 18km by metro from our campsite to the city centre. We started our day attempting to orientate ourselves by climbing The Round Tower. This 15th century Copenhagen landmark consisted of a tower with internal ramp along which horses could ascend to the top although quite wat they did once they got to the top seems mysterious.

From the round tower we walked to the Nyhavn canal. This is the picture postcard area of Copenhagen on the cover of most of the guidebooks. By the time we arrived the mist had started to lift and we could enjoy the spectacle of the coloured houses and canal side cafes along with the other tourist hordes
