With a sense of accomplish - ment we are winding down this evening, it is 9:40 PM in Copenhagen and the sun is slowly setting.
The goals of the day were simple but essential to the rest of our trip.
1. Get out of Tucson and make both our connections to be on the way to Denmark via Newark...Check!
2. Have all our luggage and bikes arrive in Copenhagen with us this morning... Check!
3. Find a big enough taxi to fit both bike boxes, luggage and ourselves...Check!
4. Stay awake until now to reset our circadian rhythm.... Check! This was really hard, we did not sleep much and arrived to Copenhagen at midnight Tucson time, we were lucky that it was a sunny day and got on the bikes with Ignacio, my nephew and Lindsay his fiance and did a tour of the old city. From the time we left the airport we were amazed to see bikes every where, women, men of all ages and sizes, bikes with baskets, panniers, child seats, front and back trailers, There are hundreds of bikes parked on the street everywhere, and sometimes it is hard to find a parking space in the bike racks, and you have to take the light post. Most streets have designated bike lanes in both sides of the streets and there are fewer cars than I expected in a big European city. Even being a little brain dead from the jet lag, almost falling asleep at times while driving I appreciated what a wonderful city Copenhagen is with it's history, architecture, food, bike culture, unique areas as Christiana.
Tomorrow we are taking off to the northwest of the island but we will be back to explore areas we visited while fully awake and more we did not see today.
