We spent a fun evening on the water when we attended a jazz cruise on a small river cruise vessel. It was technically a “tour” and we were able to just walk down from our ship – so convenient! It was 4 old guys and they were so entertaining – funny and very talented. They called themselves the Scandinavian Rhythm Boys and they each wore a t-shirt with a 33 rpm record with the hole in the middle literally cut out. The lead guy played the banjo and was the lead singer – and he also provided most of the humor. They entertained us with great jazz, served plenty of champagne, and we got to see more of life on the canals.
The Scandinavian Rhythm Boys.
Here’s their leader. He always had a smile on his face and I think he really enjoys entertaining and his music.
And below are a few other things we noticed while on our cruise through the canals.
A really unique bridge.
I love the way they plant trees in between the buildings.
These 2 couples were having a little picnic on their boat in the middle of the canal.
The sign on the left says these white slips of paper tied to the trees are artwork. Good to know.
This was some kind of a brewery with outside seating for people to enjoy the canals while they eat and drink.
We gladly shared the canal with this pair of swans out for a swim with their adorable offspring.
At one point, we took a side canal off of the main canal and like other areas of town, it was a whole different world down there. We went from upscale canal-side homes to some on the other end of the spectrum very quickly.
Hmm…interesting boat house.
And these bring new meaning to the word houseboat. The one on the right is literally a boat with a “house” built on top of it.
And then the fun had to come to an end and we reluctantly disembarked. What a fun night.

Oh wow!…Is Peewee Herman residing in Copenhagen and designing houseboats these days?

I liked the red bridge with the circles at the top. Jazz isn’t my thing, but the cruise sounds like a hoot. I would take it in a heartbeat…
