My husband and I were in Copenhagen 20 years ago and communication was no
problem then. I would imagine it to be even easier today. Most everyone
spoke better english than us. :-) 'course that wouldn't be hard- Gary with
his NY Bronx accent and me with my southern drawl. Both twangs have
disminished a bit over time... cross contamination?
We were only there for a about 12 hrs inbetween trains, don't remember if we
were heading North or South... We put our packs in lockers and visited a
museum or two?, Tivoli and the Rundetårn (The Round Tower).
I would highly recommend seeing the Rundetårn. I can still remember walking
the internal spiral.

Train show in June
Brickfest in mid July
LegoLand Billund in Late July + Copenhagen and surrounds
Some people have it tough... ;-)
How many days cycling? from where to where or is it a circular route? with
a group or just the two of you?
ah... to be a vagabond again...
I bet it will be a wonderful trip. [and I hope it will result in a bounty
of Lego. Should any Fabuland cross your path I might know someone who would
be interested in it. sometimes I know this ? person and sometimes I
don't... thus explaining the email sig once referred to.]
