Copenhagen

[Captain Slackbladder]

oI'm lucky that part of my job involves heading over to CPH 5 or so times a year for a few days. Goes without saying that I absolutley love the place, especially during the Summer months. From a cycling point of view the Danes pretty much have it sussed.
Will once again grab a pool bike out of the basement for tootling about, first time back in 2010 when I was finding my bearings I remember being blown away by Mums on the school run with kids in their carriers and others, fit bunch are the Danes. Have I mentioned the ladies, anyone who's ever been will know what I'm talking about...

The khazi's at the airport were a bit grubby.

Aye, its grim during the winter. As for the beer, you can pay ridiculous prices. All depends where you go, there are a few bars where you'll pay no more than you would back in the UK if you know where to look.

Wouldn't mind checking out the new WarPigs bar - the Mikkeler/Three Floyds collaboration.

Plus it's too flat and they're mean to pigs. All in all though, it's a great place.

I've been to this brewery: http://www.fanoebryghus.dk/

It's decent stuff - try it if you see it.

I'll keep a look out.

Looks like they brew quite a bit of stuff for Evil Twin, so it's reasonably likely I've had something made by them.

I find the Danes always forget to put a piece of bread on the top of my sandwich ....

The hills are a bastard. One of them's several metres high.

Boring fact: in Danish, "open sandwiches" are called Smørrebrød which means "buttered bread", and refers to the base for the toppings. So pedants be rest assured that there is no contradiction in terms.

True.....

True.....

In other boring news, in Denmark, Danish pastries are called Wienerbrød, which is "Vienna Bread". Meanwhile, in Vienna they call them Kopenhagener Plunder which is "Copenhagen Pastry".

That must've given the 'EU protection of names board' a few headaches...
