Maeve was our excellent guide to Copenhagen. We stayed at the Saga Hotel, where the showers and water closets were down the hallway. It was a no-smoking hotel, but we were there on a weekend, and it was clear that lots of travelers poured into the city for the weekend (Halloween) and were having a very good time. Walking back to our room the hallway reeked of smoke and laughter and conversation seeped out from under the doorways.
One of the first things we did was take a walking tour of the city. One of our first stops was a stroll up the medieval tower that did not have steps, but a curving brick path to the top. A king once brought a horse to the top.
There were two johns along the way, one modern one, and one old one that was preserved so you could imagine the place a long time ago. The old toilet was only emptied once a year, and they said the tower reeked from the stench.
On our visit, as you will see, it was absolutely pristine and lovely. The view from the top on a clear, breezy blue-sky day was spectacular.
