Full Day in Copenhagen

Tuesday morning we met Mike and Kairi in the hotel lobby.  We walked more along Strøget, down to Nyhavn, then to the palace, and finally back to Nyhavn for the afternoon.  We spent the evening in Tivoli.

The evil villain chairs in the lobby of the Radisson SAS Royal. We waited in these chairs for Mike and Kairi's train to arrive.
A stairway up from the lobby of the hotel... it looked pretty cool.
We wondered through Strøget and eventually arrived at Nyhavn. (Pronounced kind of like Noohavn).
Nyhavn used to be the sailors' quarters, but more recently has become a very pretty row of outdoor cafes. Apparently, they sometimes call it "The longest bar in Copenhagen".
It was getting close to Palace tour time, so we turned around. On the way back we saw this spire atop the stock exchange (it's three dragons' tails intertwined).
We went through this hallway into the central courtyard of the Palace.
Peter and Kairi have donned there slippers for the palace tour. Sadly, no pictures were allowed during the actual tour.
Mike and Kairi in the entry hall to the palace after the tour. The palace is sort of a "live" palace in that it is used for state functions. It is very modern and everything we saw (the reception rooms) was stunningly beautiful.
Here's the entry hall. Guests arrive here and there's a cloak room and lockers. Compared to what is in the palace, this room is incredibly dull. Large statues of titans (or is it Atlas?) support the ceiling.
We got another view of the Børsen (stock exchange), built in the early 1600s by Christian IV.
