Day 3_One day walking through Copenhagen
We saw: great bike shops
We ate: salmon burger with fries and Caesar salad at The Lot
We pedaled: 0 km
Copenhagen was for me one of the places I had very specific memories of. I came here for the first time with my best friend, Neil, about 8 or 9 years ago. I remember it as a place full of people who all look the same, very blond, very tall, very well dressed (even the small children) wearing really nice coats and shoes, and the food was just delicious. All the places were always exquisitely lit with a touch of Scandinavian design. The whole city look like it was a set for a photo shoot.
Well, I am sorry to say that somehow in this trip, the only thing that still is as I remember it, is the delicious food. The Danes are not that blond anymore, definitely not that tall either and forgot everything about fashion. The women here seem to have forgotten what suits them and what does not, confusing the idea of looking hip with looking like a cheap whore. Currently, what seems to be "in", is just to wear a pair of sheer black pantyhose, with a black sweater and ride your bike on it. Perhaps I am just getting older and so now these things bother me.
Anyhow, Copenhagen for one day was full of rain, wind but we discovered great bike stores to buy the last things we were missing like a lock, and helmets.
We were now ready to start our ride, although the weather seemed to be not the greatest.
