Happy Jazz in a Happy Boat...

Our trip coincided with the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. We managed to hear three concerts. For one of them we had to wait for almost one hour outside. The musicians were that popular.

In another place, the bar-restaurant was so packed, the food, we were told, would take an hour or so. You could not fit a needle in that Argentinian place.

Then we discovered we could hear some band playing inside a boat while touring the little Copenhagen canals. Lovely experience because it got dark and any city, but especially Copenhagen, with is lively colours and many lights by the water, became more handsome than during the day.

The music in the boat felt more like music from the 1920s and 1930s. As you know the 1930s are the era I am obsessed with. So listening to the music and looking at the water outside did wonders to my inner happy-meter.
