Day Fourteen - Copenhagen, A New City, and Cycling

Loading into the taxis

Yesterday we woke up early, frivolously cleaned until 9 am, and slammed everything I brought and purchased in my bags. Somehow I got everything and we jumped onto some nice Mercedes taxi vans. It is strange to see every taxi a Volvo, Mercedes, or other luxury car.

We got to the Gothenburg airport early so we had time to reflect on the trip. In reflection, Sweden was the best.

The flight was only about 20 minutes and we once again landed in a brand new country, really without any idea where to go. The concierge at the Cabinn Hotel gave us directions to the Cabinn Metro instead of the Cabinn City which gave us an opportunity to see the entire city while carrying our 50 lb. bags. It was a unique experience. That's the most positive light I can put on it. It was awful and took about an hour and a half but I'll concentrate on the positives. The mistake netted us an upgrade at our hotel and now our rooms are tiny instead of minuscule; I'll take it.

Copenhagen Airport, just off the plane

Copenhagen is definitely not as friendly as Sweden but after going out and seeing some more of the city, we had a great time. Danes like to have a good time and concentrate more on the club and bar scene where Swedes are perfectly fine eating at the local cafe's.

The Bike lane, Bikes with lights

Everyone in Denmark bikes. There are bicycle garages in Copenhagen. It's crazy. It was about 20 degrees yesterday and the bikers were just thick. On the way to dinner, Sally and Britt stepped into the bike path at the wrong moment and actually got hit by a bike. I can't believe how they bike so fast and bike even throughout the night with lights on their bikes.

We are heading to Carlsburg Brewery today to meet with Executives to learn about how they market their beer. As our last full day on the trip, we are going to have meals together and try to take in as much of Copenhagen as we can in a short time.
