Eurotrek 2023

Day 2 -11 July 2023  Paris to Copenhagen

The Air France lady was very helpful & we were booked on the next flight to Copenhagen with around 1.5 hours of wait in the terminal plus 11 Euro voucher each for light breakfast (coffee, croissants. yogurt & fruit salad). The plane was small, modern & comfortable with a young woman pilot. The scenery over Paris & France was beautiful as we headed north passing over Belgium & Holland coastlines, with an amazing amount of wind turbines, before the cloud covered the view.

Flying in to Copenhagen we saw the Oresund bridge connecting Malmo in Sweden with Copenhagen in Denmark that disappears under the ocean to allow shipping to pass easily, a masterpiece of engineering.

The landing in Copenhagen was uneventful with another very long walk through the terminal to the baggage claim, a good thing there are some long travelators to assist. No bags for us as we sat & waited. The missing bags person was very helpful & our bags were still in Paris – damn. They will be flown up on one of the next three planes from Paris today. We had some delicious Danish hotdogs for lunch with all the trimmings & Danish beer.

We had a very pleasant 15 minute walk in the warm sunshine to our hotel, booked in then a shower & a couple of hours of sleep after our long travels. Tereza & I had a long walk afterwards exploring the neighbourhood before settling into dinner at the “Le Perr” Café next to the hotel, a very nice meal. The prices of food seem expensive in Denmark & they use the Danish Krone for currency, not the Euro. It is still daylight at 10pm of a night.
