Arrived in Copenhagen

Sea Ice

Mound of Snow & Ice

All the bikes - used by commuters, shoppers...

How easy is that? One minute I am sitting in Heathrow airport, and 1.5 hrs later I am in Copenhagen with my daughter Kim. Magic. As I was coming in to land, I saw all sea ice heading in/out to the Baltic Sea. There were even wind farms dotted through the sea. Unbelievable. Remnants of old snow & ice were piled up at the airport where they had scraped the tarmac. Thankfully it was not snowing when I arrived, but an acceptable 0˚C and blue skies (with some clouds). We caught a train from the airport to downtown, then a bus to Kim's apartment. I couldn't believe the number of bikes everywhere. When you cross a road you have to keep your eye out for the cyclists or you might get run over, and when alighting from a bus you have to move quickly off the bike path that runs alongside the road. It is cheaper to live in Sweden (25 min train ride) then get off the train & ride your bike to work here in Copenhagen. Plus it is very expensive to own/run a car here, so bikes are very popular. Kim is about to bring in a hot chocolate and a platter of cheese, olives & bikkies, so had best leave this post now.
