Bonjour à tous Changement de programme, je suis au Danemark, mais pas à Copenhague comme prévu. Impossible de trouver une chambre pour ce soir, à moins de mettre entre 400 et 1750 E, ou de perdre la journée à chercher. J'ai trouvé pour demain soir, obligé, j'ai fait halte à Odense, 170km, avant Copenhague. Ce matin j'ai eu droit à petit control au passage de la frontière, juste le passeport. Et à partir de là gros changement dans la conduite, fini la vitesse, j'ai même goutté au 80 kmh sur les routes secondaires. Pas facile à tenir, mais au moins ici à priori pas de radar. Juste un seul dans une entrée de village. En France, avec les 80, il va falloir agrandir les caisses de L'état. Avec ce changement de programme, je me trouvais avec ... read more

Hallo Leute Unsere Reise führt uns bereits durch Dänemark. Wunderschön, super Landschaft, Topfeben, kein Verkehr, super Strassen, einfach nur toll hier autofahren zu dürfen. Unsere Essen bestehen zum grössten Teil aus Fisch, gekauft in Fischgeschäften und Räuchereien in den verschiedenen Häfen. Heute besuchten wir das Bunkermuseum in Hanstholm im Norden von Dänemark. Hier steht eine der grössten Kanonen der Nazizeit, mit einem Munitionsdurchmesser von 38 cm, einer Reichweite von 55 km und einem Gewicht mit dem Turm von 550 Tonnen. Das Geschützrohr wiegt alleine 110 Tonnen. Die Bunkeranlage ist in einem Top-Zustand und wird sehr gut gepflegt. Morgen geht es weiter nach Hirtshals auf die Fähre nach Christiansand in Norwegen.... read more

This morning we set out on the 1 day packed itinerary on our App. First up is a canal boat tour. The boat only just squeezes through and under the bridges. In fact we can't go under one bridge because the tide is too high. The tour guide is quite humorous (not as good as me but close). Even though the boat is about 50% Asian he has some beauties. Apparently the Government of China and the Danish government agreed that given the Chinese like the Little Mermaid statue so much they should have it in China for a while......but then they worked out that half the population of China was in Copenhagen anyway so they sent it back!! Boom boom. Copenhagen is beautiful with all the buildings about 4 stories high. After the canal tour ... read more

Okay, so Ireland didn’t win their World Cup qualifying group, but a spirited victory in Wales coupled with a string of other scores going our way resulted in the Irish team going into the play-offs. Fortune further smiled upon us in the subsequent draw, sparing Ireland a tie against Croatia or Italy and instead pitting them against Denmark. And so Friday morning I find myself at Heathrow boarding an SAS flight to Copenhagen, anticipating a weekend of cold climates, enlarged expense and no little wear in walking the miles. It takes just 15 minutes to go from Copenhagen Airport to Københavns Hovedbanegård (Copenhagen central station) by rail. I found my hotel – Best Western Hebron, down a quiet street near central station, next door to a “gentlemen’s club”, small rooms, with a bed barely an arms ... read more

Onward... We left the other guy's place and met up with a friend of Suleiman's that he had met on his last adventure out of the country. Yngwe. We were finally able to get onto the same sheet of music with Yngwe after a solid day of micommunication. So we agreed that we would meet up with him at the central station in Downtown Aarhus. We waited there for a long time and alas, Yngwe finally arrived. Yngwe was a cool kid...a stoner. I knew we would get along. So we walked around town for a little while then settled on the idea that we would go have a beer or two so we went to Flintstone's Bar. After a couple beers we caught a cab to Yngwe and his roommate Karls' apartment which happened to ... read more
