We did so much yesterday... after breakfast I took Tiffany to Nyhavn  to see it in the morning before all of the Swedish people showed up... Swedish people come to Nyhavn to buy their beverages since it is much more difficult to get the beverages they prefer in Sweden. Then we  walked a few streets over to Amalienborg Palace where the Royal family lives. The queen was not home since you can see the flag was not flying above her palace.
