A bit of an eye-opener.....and more....

So, Pia, you've been doing the bike thang for nearly a week now, how does it feel?

Awesome! The trip is quite lovely, actually, and there are no hills!

First there is the stretch through Valby, with Søndermarken (park) on one side, approaching the curious but beautiful old Carlsberg Brewery buildings, and a good morning nod to the elephants either side of the portal.

From there, it's pretty much just a straight road up to Vibenshus Runddel, although it manages to change name several times inbetween. One of these days I am going to count traffic lights.... The ride through Frederiksberg is especially lovely, being so green and leafy.

There are many really nice places to look at enroute and there is a feeling of the city being a very grand, old lady. She feels a lot older and more serene than Dublin does, although Dublin is way older in years. Also, Copenhagen has an easier relationship with her past, she has had plenty of reasons to take good care of it, and it shows when you move through town. The same cannot be said of Dublin.

Here endeth the comparison this time around....
