| Along the Copenhagen harbour |
After
breakfast, I was walking down to the garage, grabbing the race biking, starting
to dismount the front wheel and putting all together in the back of the car. I
had an idea – a short visit to Copenhagen. Too bad buddy Giang wasn’t there for
the weekend. I was leaving Itzehoe,
passing Kiel and approached Heiligenhafen at around noon. I started not well
prepared, had no maps with me, just an overall feeling where I need to go.
Fehmarn was found easily, no problems, signs were leading me well enough. At
the islands northern end I took the ferry to Denmark Røbyhavn. Before it was
getting too late I started to look for a place to stay for the night and found
a campsite in Guldborg. The 4 bed dorm was that tiny, you hardly could turn
around. But for sleeping there one night only it was more than alright.

I
started early the next morning, another 100 something kilometres to go to
Copenhagen. It was nicely hot and extremely humid – perfect conditions though.
I arrived in the afternoon and checked in the next youth hostel. The Danhostel
was almost fully booked, I was advised to accept the five bed dorm. So I did.
Then it was time for a short city centre visit. I didn’t get far – Brazils
world championship eights final game was thrown on a laaarge screen in the
harbour. I decided to stay a while. I wouldn’t have time to see the whole city
anyway. The things I saw led me to the conclusion: Great city with so many
things to offer. The channels drawn through the city, historical and cosy
places inviting to have a closer look or just to have a little coffee or snack… The next
morning was coming to quick, and I had a long journey ahead – going all the way
back to Germany – 190 km overall, and I made it before 7 pm the same day. Even
with two times heavy rain which slowed me down and made me stop. I slept like
dead and wished the night be a bit longer…
