Didn't I get sick on week one of my last trip?
Berlin's Tegel airport is a bit chaotic and has no metro, only bus! Ewwwww a bus.. LOL. Really they are better than home, I am the only one drunk and coughing on everyone and I cannot smell any urine or vomit.... They closed Templehof airport, I prob. should have flown into Schonefeld, but Tegel was it, took me a half hour to find the right check in desk.... I decipher from the news they are planning a massive new BER airport coded monstrosity to replace it all, sounds good to me they may have better shops and cafe's while waiting... Waited in a pretty boring post security area, with one cafe and one shop, left lots of germs everywhere - imagine the movie Seven Monkeys and you're on the right track - by the time I get back to Canada, I am sure Moose Flu will be in all the newspapers laying Europe low.... This flight to Luxembourg, yes take it thank you, Ankara, there you go buy some Kleenex - Stuttgart can have a dose too because you never gave me a Mercedes Benz from that never ending production line, fresh flu flow in courtesy Lufthansa. Not that you would want a Benz after traveling in Europe, they are Taxis here, the C and D classes at least. How many people lust after a German Taxi? I would take one, I know :) But is true they are known as the 'Taxis of Europe.' I would really like another Audi.
Oh well, I was numb for most of the flight, only 45 minutes, then on to hotel number 2 in Copenhagen, which was cheap but is a bit out of the way.... My suitcase is now exactly 20kg which is the max weight for my cheapo ticket (thanks Terry for the bag scale thing, very handy,) so I should not collect much more...
Checked in, slept for a couple of hours to dislodge the tranqs then off into town.... Tivoli Garden had huge crouds so did not go in, it is mostly a fun fair and I am more scared than the kids of their rides...
Town Hall, as you can see the weather is still on off cloudy with sunny breaks and cooler than Berlin by 10 degrees.... Cooler than when I left Copenhagen a few days back too
Ok, so why take a pic of hot dogs.... Well these hot dog sellers are all over, literally hundreds, the pork biz is huge in Denmark, we always bought Danish Bacon; but they have the Dutch and German idea of unsliced buns with the sausage sticking out the end and after several days of seeing hundreds of these posters I am wondering why no one else thinks it looks obscene...
I am sorry, had to say that; 'Weiner Gate' on the American news has nothing on these posters, zip it up guys!
This is what you look like after too many hot dogs
Vikings appear all over, well, the Dane version. I hope they are not playing anything by Bieber or Gaga.
Lots of old fountains and squares... Hard to believe we are so north...
The graffiti spoils this one
I like street cafes...
This building must be very old, the glass is hand made, nicely uneven
The city has an endless supply of little harbours and mini canals from its sheletered position in the Baltic Sea
Lots of church spires
More Danes looking for a hot dog on the way to church and wielding an axe... Likely because the NRA wasn't invented yet
Beginning to lose light now.... :( Sunrise is around 4am, sunset after 10pm.
This street cafe and startled patron was not for naught. Look at the little space heater thing, flames rise in the glass tube inside the metal frame... I like those
This is a popular old Brit Pub, quite a few Brits here it looks like
Back in Nyhavn
This is the Kings Palace
Ooh, getting dark.... Jeff will like this picture...
I always wanted a Citroen car when I was a kid, the new ones are less stylish...
And here are the Danish "S" trains.... Newer than the Berlin ones, but the digital displays are cute, every seat has one above it too, so if the seat is reserved it is marked, etc etc. The underground Metro is small here, though they are digging all over to expand it, not like the Berlin U-bahn underground, huge...
Oresundstag means don't eat the hot dogs or you will be sorry
Gut Nacht. I think I feel feverish...
