02. Denmark - Copenhagen and Esbjerg

After an interesting journey from Karlsruhe to Copenhagen - they take the ICE train and put it on a ferry to make a shortcut - we arrived in sunny Copenhagen where we stayed at my friend's (thank you, Karen) place.

Copenhagen is a really beautiful city, the beer prices were however a little high. We spent there a couple of days sightseeing, taking advantage of the free bikes you can get there (well, let's say free bike - if you are lucky enough to find one, it is very likely that it is broken, but I still liked the idea), enjoying the yummy Smörebröd and going out at night. We also went to Christiania, a part of Copenhagen, in which the Danish laws do not apply. Well, at least in the opinion of some of the people living there I assume. Fact is that buying, selling and consuming weed is tolerated which is quite surprising for a fairly conservative country like Denmark.

Free bikes in Copenhagen - yeah!

One of the highlights was the visit of a high class football game: Avedöre IF, a 4th division football team, played against FC Midtjylland from the 1st division. A surprise was in the air, but after all the 1st division team beat the underdogs in the "stadium" of Avedöre 3-2.

Avedöre playing in the black and white jerseys, but you probably know that, don't you?

On Saturday, Sep 25, we took the train to Esbjerg and walked for about 3 hours (1h into the wrong direction) to make it to our ferry Norröna that should take us to Iceland.
