Copenhagen, Denmark - Costa Atlantica Day 8

We arrived in Copenhagen. A sad day.  After disembarking we went to pick up our luggage. The problem which turned out to be a blessing was that Costa sent one of our luggage to the Airport. This caused some initial distress but when Costa said they would bus to the Airport at their expense, that saved us a ton of walking, money, and time plus we got to take photos along the way!

One of the subway stations.  Not too difficult but not that user friendly the first time around.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Embark Costa Atlantica Day 1

Copenhagen is a relatively difficult city to manuever through.  Getting to port involved taking a train to particular stop and then walking about a mile dragging luggage along.


This was the on the walking path to the ship. Would we be doing this a whole lot during the cruise?

Up on board, looking out.

Costa provided the best food of all the cruises we have been on. On first cruise was with Costa. Would the food be as excellent as we remembered?


The buffet was open. The food was drab.

Below is dinner. This would be the true test. As it stood Day 1 was pretty decent from a food standpoint but not spectacular. I was anticipating the rest of the week's food after this evening.


Terrine


Risotto


Veal shank. Not particularly flavorful or as tender as I expected.


Scorpion fish

Wild boar.  This was certainly a different offering however it tasted just like any other pork.


Creme brulee. A little thick and chalky and missing that all important glazed top.

Weinerbrod and Hotdogs - Copenhagen, Denmark

With Ida Davidsen closed, we were out of luck and didn't know where to go.  We wandered the street and found this inviting bakery.

Weinerbrod is a traditional flaky pastry with various middle sections like marmalade and cream. Boy were these buttery flakey good! But expensive. This place didn't have any air conditioning. Americans are spoiled with their AC.

We walked back to get our luggage and stopped for a hot dog to tie is over until we got to the ship.

Hot Dogs are traditional fare in Denmark. This was better than most offerings I've had Stateside.

Bacon Dog with the works. A strip of bacon or two is spiraled around the entire length of the dog.
