Debbie’s Pannier Contents
I thought I would share what I carried in my panniers while we rode through Denmark in case anyone out there needed help in deciding what to take on such a trip. I will divide my discussion into three parts … Continue reading
Murray’s Pannier Contents
Murray’s riding gear and street clothes mirrored mine fairly well. He also had a second set of street clothes but did not utilize the clothing like I did and says he would definitely leave the extra pants, socks and one … Continue reading
Copenhagen in the Wind
Murray is on day two of his cold and I am on day five. He is feeling kinda sh**ty and I finally am feeling mostly human again. After checking the weather forecast, we bundle up and head out for a … Continue reading
Back in Copenhagen
We take a risk and fly Easyjet from Berlin to Copenhagen. Airfare was about $70. Amazingly, everything goes very smoothly, from the train ride to bus to airport, to clearing security to boarding and landing. We are diligent with their … Continue reading

Weimar is a very popular spot for school kids on field trips. We have run into numerous groups of, perhaps, high school age teenagers. There is much history (literature, politics, philosophy, art and design) in the town, so it is … Continue reading
Weird Art and a Beer Garden
I, Murray and I drive downtown to go to the Haus der Kunst (House of Art) to see some modern artworks. All I can say is WEIRD! I don’t understand modern art and it is not my definition of art. … Continue reading
Copenhagen Museums
Our first stop today is the Design Museum Denmark. There are extensive exhibits of early Japanese art, Toulouse Letrec posters, Danish chairs, modern Danish furniture, and even a Ming Dynasty vase from between 1400 and 1600. Very interesting but boy, … Continue reading
