The Little Mermaid, a bronze sculpture is displayed on a rock by the waterside at the Langelinie promenade where tourists gather to take photos of the mermaid and if possible, with the mermaid. The canal boat tour goes right by the Little Mermaid sculpture. May 17, 2018

The canal-front side view of the Copenhagen Opera House, the national opera house of Denmark, began construction in June 2001 and was completed on October 1, 2004. It opened on January 15, 2005. May 17, 2018

Bikes may decorate the streets of Copenhagen but along the center city portion an underground metro construction site is also quite visible along the canal cruise. Cityringen is a completely new metro line designed to have 17 underground stations that are projected to open in July 2019. May 17, 2018

People enjoying lunch at Nyhavn, especially the north side, where there a line of restaurants with outdoor seating that’s perfect for a gorgeous May spring/summer day like today. But, Alice, Tammy and I had other plans for traditional Danish fare. May 17, 2018

Just one more look at Nyhavn before moving on to our lunch venue. May 17, 2018

Lunch plans for today included traditional Danish fare at Restaurant Pilekaeldren at Pilestrade 48 in Copenhagen, which came recommended to us by Joan Galle. And, for our last day in Copenhagen, we wanted to feast on traditional Danish cuisine only and this restaurant hit the spot. Thank you Joan. May 17, 2018
