Day 2_Arriving to Copenhagen



We saw: the Danish bike lanes for the first time
We ate: steak and potatoes at Det Lille Apotek
We pedaled: 15 km
We had bike accidents: 1 fall (Vickie)

As we arrived in Copenhagen, it was a miracle to see our bikes come out the "oversize luggage" door. There were intact and ready for us to ride them. But we first needed to unpack them, assemble the pedals, inflate the tires and hook all the panniers.

Czech Mc Giver, Boris, had smuggled a blade to cut open the box and started to assemble everything.


We took some Danish crowns out of the bank machine, changed our shoes and hop on our bikes and started to pedal towards the hotel in Copenhagen. 500 meters after starting to pedal I tried to stop but could not get off shoes out of my fixed pedals, so in a matter of seconds I fell with all that weight right down on the paved route. I felt the trip had really begun.

Then, following our Google map, we arrived at the Plaza Hotel safe and sound.
We went out to a typical restaurant called Det Lille Apotek where we had a delightful Danish dinner and went to bed.
