We found this spot in the <a href=\"http:\/\/park4night.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">park4night.com database<\/a> and opted to come here just for a rest and a night&#8217;s sleep, but it looks like it&#8217;ll be well worthy of a walk around in the morning.

These countries have somehow managed to walk a middle path between full-on capitalism, and full-on communism. You have to work for a living here, and very roughly speaking half your earnings are going to be deducted in income tax, but the flipside is the social safety net here is like having your own personal Spiderman:\u00a0there&#8217;s not much chance of anyone\u00a0falling very far.

I&#8217;d read roughly 50% of all journeys in Copenhagen are by push bike, and man-o-man are those bikes in plenty supply. They&#8217;re everywhere. There are 430 km of dedicated cycle lanes, not just painted lines on the road, but lanes separated by both the footpath and the road by kerbs. Bikes have their own traffic lights, and their own set of rules to abide by. Bikes are piled everywhere, in all shapes and sizes but mainly comfy-looking things. There are very few mountain bikes and racers here, they are all down-to-Earth one gear, big-seats and high handlebars. Someone&#8217;s worked out Copenhagen saves $35million a year through the use of bikes and not cars. And that&#8217;s not including how much individual folks save, probably enough to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrmoneymustache.com\/2013\/04\/22\/curing-your-clown-like-car-habit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buy many years of early retirement<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24556\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02889-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"dsc02889-1024x512\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02889-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02889-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02889-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24555\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02888-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"dsc02888-1024x512\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02888-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02888-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02888-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24554\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02887-1024x548-1024x548.jpg\" alt=\"dsc02887-1024x548\" width=\"620\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02887-1024x548.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02887-1024x548-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02887-1024x548-768x411.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24553\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02886-1024x635-1024x635.jpg\" alt=\"dsc02886-1024x635\" width=\"620\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02886-1024x635.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02886-1024x635-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02886-1024x635-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24544\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02858-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"dsc02858-1024x512\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02858-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02858-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02858-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We walked maybe 5 or 6 miles, and from the start it felt a little like home. Other Nordic\u00a0cities have felt like, well, Nordic, but Copenhagen felt like an over-sized Nottingham with a dollop of other UK cities thrown in. Exactly what made it feel that way I&#8217;m struggling to put my finger on. Brick built cottages on the way past the old Carlsberg brewery area? A more rough-and-ready feel with more cars and more graffiti? The broad array of eating options, Indian, Mongolian, Chinese, Thai, English(?), you name it, just like home. The mixture of classic and modern buildings in the centre reflected what we often seen back home. Perhaps the fact Denmark once rode the back of an empire, like Britain also did, has left a common stamp on the two disparate countries? Dunno.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24552\"

our wanderings, finding the Tivoli Park was closed for renovations, being heavily geared up for an\u00a0upcoming Halloween Zombie-fest. The waterfront along the Nyhavn seriously outshone Bergen with it&#8217;s array of colourful ex-merchant&#8217;s houses and forest of masts from moored-up house boats. Our guidebook gave the us the wink: the National-museet is free! Yep, free to look around the shop and cafe. Which we did, then exited and headed for home as it was 75 Dkk to visit the rest of it. There are a fair few museums I want to see in Denmark: bog man is high up there, as is some Viking boat action. None the Copenhagen museums were massively exciting us though, so we yomped alongside the train track back to Zagan.
