Million of cats, dogs and 1 sheep!

If I was to come back to life as cat, I would want to live in Istanbul!! There are 1,000's of happy healthy and loveable cats everywhere!  We have only seen 1 person walking a dog..but again many in the public parks.  People feed them all day....

Cute little family

This cat is busy cleaning itself by the bus stop

Caroline went to pat a cat and 5 of it's cat friends came over for a cuddle

Sampson joined us for coffee...and 5 more of his buddies on the brick wall

The deepest sleeping dogs are all over the main square

Nice place for a cat nap at night

                     Last day in Copenhagen.....so sad to leave! 
This is the highlight!  The highlight of the day was getting to watch an octopus feed! You can make out, in the video, the lid of a Nutella jar he opened to get crabs inside.





Visited the Royal home...

Very large ...4 of these building forming a circle...
Very very few advertisements but when you see them..they are like this!

These strange figures are here and there around Copenhagen

So many great shops!
We visited the Danish Design Center




This church is all made of marble!



Visited the amber museum...this would make a nice pendent!
