We were amused to see this Surly bike, the Pugsy, with its enormous tires meant for mountain biking in snow and sand on the streets of Copenhagen.

Charmaine RuppoltThis was a very popular tower to walk up - I saw long lines of people waiting. I went first thing one morning and was able to enjoy going up finally!

Slotsholmen is the seat of the national government and many other historical buildings. It is located on a small island, separated from the city by a moat-like canal.

Charmaine RuppoltI agree re riding on cobblestones! I can't imagine trying to maneuver holding another bike while biking!

We had trouble booking the ferry to England (from Esjberg) online as there were glitches in the program. Inge took on our problem and phoned them, waiting for about 25 minutes to ensure that we would get our booking. Wow, we were so grateful for her incredible desire to help.
