Copenhagen, Best Western Hotel Airport

Fri April 5

After a long lie in, I collected the bike from the airport. First I had to head into Copenhagen central station where I had stored all of my bike gear. Then returned to the car park (car park P15 where I had booked the bike for the week of my stay in Iceland) at the airport to collect the bike. Then back to the hotel to collect my rucksack.

Thence I rode to Kolding in the Netherlands (Kolding by name, Colding by nature frozen when I arrived). My aim was back to Hamburg but I didn’t want to do that in one go as it was just a little too far to do in one go as I discovered on the way up. Got very, very, very wet on the way to Kolding. So wet that not only did it penetrate me completely but pretty much all the gear in the rucksack - so much so that I had to empty it all out in my room to allow everything to dry off.

Kolding is a lovely little market town where everything seems to be shut!Read more
