  • People ALWAYS obey signals at pedestrian crossings. If the red man is showing, whether the road is busy or not, no-one crosses the road until the green man shows it is allowed.

    Because us Brits always want to try and get from A to B as quickly as humanly possible, this phenomenum was a complete novelty. We were inclined to march fearlessly across the empty road, to looks of horror and admiration from the crowd on the pavement.

    But everyone knows and defends their rights on the road in Denmark - cars, cyclists and pedestrians - which must make for a happy city overall!

     Thank you. I'll definitely remember to watch my head when taking a boat tour.

     At some points I felt like you were describing my stay in CPH (going with students, going to Malmo and Luisiana, the boat trip, staying in Cab Inn....) LOL at almost losing your head under the bridge - that also almost happened to me!

     Thanks for the info re The Cab Inn - looks like that's where we will be staying on our visit there! Must remember those vegetarian places too! Cheers bigears! ;-)
