6/15/12 day 51: Copenhagen, Denmark

70 degrees and mostly sunny in Denmark's capital today. I thought it would be a good day to finally take out one of the crew mountain bikes out for a spin. My buddy Chris and I cruised passed the little mermaid as China's president rolled up? Yup, you read that right. Well, maybe not the president but some high ranking Chinese official showed up at the same time. The information we got from the drunk Dane is suspect, but we heard corroborating evidence later that confirms a chinese visitor. Check your favorite news source for details. We then cruised past the Citadel, the national gallery, and headed north around the Norreport Train station. We cruised past probably 8 Döner places. This area has a very ethnic vibe to it and you see more Turkish, Somali, and Indian stores. It was lunch time by then, so I stopped for a quick kebab (not my favorite) and we headed back south to enjoy the sun along the waters edge. It was a good day to be in a bike posse.

The first night of a new cruise is hit or miss, and I am happy to report tonight was a hit. Good, appreciative, and attentive crowd. Had them singing the whole time. Should be a good cruise. We are at least off to a good start.
