The Copenhagen Canal Tour

Still back in Copenhagen... On Saturday, Kristian prepared a wholesome breakfast whilst I got ready for another day of exploring the city. I followed the aroma of the freshly made coffee down the stairs along with the ring of the bell. We sat in the garden, under the sizzling sun and once again it was not just the heat that made us flee. Breakfast was left untouched ...

At 4 p.m., we boarded the Netto boat for a Copenhagen Canal tour, gently floating on the widely spread water, with a warm breeze flowing in between the exchange of our smiles. We saw the magnificent Opera House, donated to the Danish state by the Moller Foundation, followed by the Black Diamond Library, and many other stunning buildings. 

Facing the grand building, the fountain rose directly opposite the Operaen.

The impressive Black Diamond Library was glowing with the reflection of the shimmering water of the canal.

While I ducked to let the boat drift under the very low bridges, we would come back into the open air of yet, another breathtaking site of rows of coloured buildings and people scattered along the bank in groups, smiling and enjoying the sunshine.

When we got back on land, Kristian was keen to visit a large white tent set in a square, an exhibit about the harm caused by mood stabilizers. There were videos of the CCHR organisation, documenting thousands of individual cases to demonstrate how often psychiatric practices create insanity and cause violence from the brutal effects of prescribed drugs. It was disturbing to see, how tormented minds could be driven to take refuge in a recommendation from someone whom they have trusted, to be taken advantage of, in such a brutal manner.

Overall, my weekend in the marvellous city of Copenhagen was amazing, accompanied by the utmost charm of a Danish stranger. I left on a plane back to London, with a big smile.

I loved cOPENhagen.
