After only about 2 hours sleep each, we arose with melancholy to realise this is our final day in Copenhagen… our final day in Europe for this trip.

What better way to beat the blues, but to cycle our way to freedom. We cycled for nearly two hours, stopping for a coffee and a pastry on the way. Oh, and we also happened to cycle past a bike repair shop run by an Englishman and bought Danish bike locks for our bikes at home. They are brilliant! Synchronicity plus!!

Then we packed up and caught the train from Copenhagen Central Station, only about a 5 minute walk from the hotel, to the airport. Our flights included access to the lounge, so we ate lunch and relaxed.

The flight was amazing, as the plane was relatively small and we flew low enough to see the landscape. From what I could perceive, we travelled over Lolland Island where we had stayed with our friends, over Germany, then down the coast of the Netherlands and Belgium before crossing over the channel and over the mouth of the Thames towards London, and we flew over our cousins’ house, and over Emirates stadium where Arsenal play. We were held in a holding pattern for about 15 minutes over west London and flew right over the top of Windsor Castle - I didn’t get a photo of it though.

We moved through border control without too much fuss, then caught the good ole Piccadilly Line, where we were collected from the station. Hooray!
