Day 2/3 of the Great Baratta Adventure

We are having a really nice time so far. We are a bit confused about day and night because it is always light here - It gets dark for about 3 hours - from midnight until 3 am. We have been sleeping at strange hours of the day and night - Sarina thinks it is Thursday because everytime she wakes up she thinks it is a new day! We will get it sorted out sometime soon, I hope!

Yesterday - or should I say a few hours ago, we took a walking tour of the city. It is a beautiful place, very clean with beautiful architecture and very friendly people. We saw all the sites, and even enjoyed some cavier out of a tube? We are going native here....

Sarina has been asking for ice cream for several days now so we finally broke down and changed some money - After our walk to see the statue of little Mermaid we were walking back toward our hotel - it was 11:30 PM. All of the sudden we noticed that no one was around - no people, no cars, just US...a few minutes later we noticed some armed guards all around us, Apparently we had walked into the courtyard of the Palace where the royal family resides- Joe nodded to the one guard as if to say - of course we belong here, we just strolling through to see if any of the royals were around and wanted to come out and greet us?

We got a very strange look from the guard who figured we must belong here......we later saw a sign that showed people walking with a big slash through it - hey what do we know we can't read the signs anyway.

Luckily we made it the ice cream shop before midnight when it closed.

This is great! I would have liked a picture of Joe at the mermaid statue.

I would have loved to see Joe at the Palace waiting for the royal family to come out and greet him!!!
