TRAVEL CATCH UPS
Onwards to Copenhagen! Straight off the train from the airport we were greeted by an ocean of bicycles, in every direction and the challenge of being in a non-English speaking country. Luckily for us almost everyone we met spoke the most impeccable English, and those that didn't were extremely kind to us.
Not knowing very much about the area Mick and I jumped on a bus tour, kitsch i know, but it was lovely. We learnt so much about the history of Copenhagen, and saw some awesome places on the way, none of which I can pronounce or spell.

Perhaps the only down side to Copenhagen other than the expensiveness was that the Tivoli Gardens were closed! We managed to be in Copenhagen for one of the brief parts on the year that its closed and the place looked amazing! The elaborate halloween decorations we could see from the outside taunted us and I desperately wanted to go, but luckily we did oodles of other fun things.

Copenhagen was so picturesque albeit very pricey and I think it would be especially pretty in the warmer months to let yourself wander aimlessly on a bicycle built for two. Perhaps next time, if we spend more that 3 short days.

Did you do any riding when you were there? I have a folding bike that I travel with, and I've always heard the most wonderful things about Copenhagen - but I've never been.
hi chris.
sadly we didn't, we had planned to borrow the rental bikes from the hotel and hit the park on our last day but it was raining all day...
im was keen to go anyway but I have a severe case of the clumbsys and would have caused injure to someone for sure...
I saw some of these traveling, they're incredible! It sure would have been nice to take some of these along. maybe we'll look into for next time :)
