Sunday 12th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 2 Again it was a bitterly cold day with a fierce wind blowing from somewhere out over the Siberian Steppes, the temperature hovering around -5ºC but with clear blue skies all round. Even so it was not a day to be outdoors. We’d got a couple of items…

Food 2017 – Alberto K, Copenhagen
Friday February 12th, 2017 – Alberto K, Radisson Blu Royal, Copenhagen Although not normally a big fan of hotel restaurants (they can swing wildly in my experience between averagely bland to downright horrible, and are usually overpriced, the Radisson Blu Royal’s sister-hotel in Copenhagen, the Scandinavia, being a case in point) this didn’t stop me…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Weekend 1, Day 1
Saturday 11th February, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 1 Being in Copenhagen for work again, this time for three solid weeks, I was in the fortunate position of being able to fly home or have my partner flown out to me for one weekend of the two. I opted to stay put and let the company…
Food/Travel 2017 – Copenhagen (Week 1)
Sunday 5th February to Thursday 9th February, 2017 – Copenhagen February may not be the best time to visit Copenhagen, especially in a snowstorm, but I didn’t have much choice as my new employers sent me out here for three weeks to complete a gruelling, brain-frying training course. I opted not to fly home each…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4
Thursday 12th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 4 British Airways while I was away introduced their new “improved” cabin service. Now while I will grant that the ham and cheese croissant I was offered on the way out was a long way from gourmet food, it was at least included in the price of my…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Days 2-3
Monday 9th to Wednesday 11th January, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark Here are a few more reflections on my first visit to Copenhagen. It’s work not pleasure so there’s not much sightseeing apart from walking about after a day in the office. So a second walk in Copenhagen after work took me down past the Tivoli…
Travel 2017 – Copenhagen, Day 1
Monday January 9th, 2017 – Copenhagen, Denmark A new year, a new country and a city that was on my list of “would be nice for a long weekend”, Copenhagen. As it is I’m here for work for three days, flying back on Thursday, but work has never stopped me being curious about my surroundings,…
Travel 2016 – Berlin Bears
Friday to Monday, 2nd to 5th December 2016 – Berlin There are an awful lot of bears in Berlin – here are just a few of them!
Travel 2016 – Lübeck, Aalst, Day 19
Day 19 – Saturday 23rd July (Lübeck, Aalst) Moose count = in Germany? What do you think? So technically not Finland anymore but it was part of the trip so it gets the heading anyway… This was the day I seriously questioned the sanity of driving all the way from the top of Germany to…
Travel 2016 – Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck, Days 17-18
Day 18 – Thursday 21st July (Haikko, Helsinki, Travemünde, Lübeck) Moose count = Nope. Nada. Zilch. What moose? There are no moose! Finland has no moose! Finland needs no moose! With the ferry scheduled for 15:00 latest check in there wasn’t a great deal of time to achieve anything much. We “scientifically” packed the car,…
