Copenhagen

Am at a weird hotel in Copenhagen. Copenhagen is very expensive and this hotel is one of the cheaper ones but it is odd. Might be a best western spin off as it has the thing where you have to wave a card in the lift to get it going. Haven’t really explored Copenhagen. Having a rest day instead. Rode to the airport and back to see how long it takes. I have booked a flight to Iceland now at least and finally taken out travel insurance (was relying on my Europe Health card until now but presumably not valid in Iceland as it's not in the EU). Good to go. Going to ride back to Hamburg and service the bike there afterwards.

I was planning to take the bike to Iceland on a ferry and ride around. In hindsight it's a good thing I didn't (due the fact that getting there and back on the ferry would have cost about a grand) because it would have been way, way, way too cold and windy to get around by bike. It may have been possible but would have been very bleak.Read more
