Elephant Parade

They look very familiar although I have never seen them before. Plastic sculptures on the streets. Each elephant identical in form, but acting as a canvas for a unique picture. It reminds me of Cow Parade in Zurich many years ago, and well it should. It is the same and makes me smile. New but familiar, just like Copenhagen. It is a city you can fall in love with. If I had business her I would stay, content for a long time. Some places are like this. Zurich is the same. Note to self: Deffinately visit Stockholm this trip.

The morning I spent time with the reunion with Andreas. Lots of smiles. His company is easy. His Greek colleague Lina (Leena?) was utterly charming and mentioned Transition Towns. A concept I must look into. More of that later I bet. Lina had to stop work at 1 pm and I had a city to see. That she should guide me on the start of my tour was perfect. Thank you very much fair lady.

Christianhavn in the afternoon and time to watch the world go by. Back to my hotel for a quick rest and back to the bike hire place to hook up with Andreas for dinner. Catching up a whole year in an evening over a beer or two. An extra beer from the young guys who could drink no more.

My mood is much improved. Being on the road, new challenges and reunions is better than any medicine.
