Copenhagen to Arhus




Good first day on the road. We slept in a little bit after the jet lag recovery day yesterday, but were up and on the road headed out of Copenhagen about 9:30 AM. Nice day and about 60 deg F to start. It was easy going with the separated bike path taking us all of the way out of the city and in to the countryside. Some very gentle rolling hills, lakes, and farmland were waiting for us along the way. We made it all of the way across the island in time to catch the 6 PM ferry to Arhus. About a 1 hour ferry ride and then a few minutes searching out hotels around the center of town. Denmark is not for the budget minded traveler :-) Everything is pricey, but the food is good, the scenery beautiful, people nice, and so far the hotels very nice.

We had a nice dinner of pizza and salad with a few cold beers. Nice end to the day. It's finally getting dark here at 11 PM. 73 miles for the day and about 1800 feet of climbing. Ready for more road adventure tomorrow in Denmark then heading south towards Germany.
