07-08: Copenhagen, Denmark. We had a long and busy day today. I hope I can remember everything we did! We didn’t take the ship’s shuttle because we wanted to save the walking for Tivoli Gardens. Stuart has been there before but I had not. We took a Bolt to the entrance and quite quickly we purchased tickets and we were inside. It looked so crowded we thought we would be waiting for some time, but they are very organized. Tivoli Gardens is a fun place just to walk around. There are lakes, ponds, beautiful flowers everywhere, 40+ dining choices, shows several times a day, and even peacocks walking freely about. There are scads of rides for all ages. If you choose to ride rides you can buy 1 ticket or get a pass for all the rides. We didn’t have a chance to see any shows today. It seems like week days they have them later in the day, and we had to be back to the ship. We did have a delicious lunch and a separate stop for a glass of wine among the flowers. There is a Lego store right by one of the entrances of the gardens. We stopped in there because I wanted to get something only found in Denmark, birthplace of the Lego! What a cute shop with some fun things! We caught another Bolt back to the ship. We had just 30 minutes to refresh before our next cooking class.
Tonight we are cooking Mediterranean tonight. Tonight the class only has 6 people. One cook was a sweet lady with dementia, so she was no real help. The other 5 of us had a lot of prep work to do. We made ravioli (pasta was premade and cut), tomato sauce, fennel and white bean salad, and lastly swordfish steaks. Everything was so good! The fish had a white wine sauce with lemon and saffron. I made sure to get that recipe along with the all of the others. The pastry chef made us a stunning dessert. What each person was served was enough food for 2 people. Our instructions were given by Chef Joseph again. He is such a nice man. In 2 days, he leaves the ship for a break, but he is going to be back on this ship or another.
