Going to Denmark

Our 4 days in Köln is over, and now its time to find the way up north to Denmark.

How do we feel now? well, some sort of relief.
Köln was the last big task on this journey, though we´re still going for a little bestiary-research in Copenhagen before the story is finished.
Many would probably say, that " ooh its such a big adventure, I envy you so much because of that" etc, but the mind has some sort of limits in its capacity of swollowing impressions.
We feel, that now we are close to this limit.
Its getting harder and harder to find inspirations - the common seriousity is also difficult to keep up, and generally we just want to watch some movies with the original voices and not something, that is dubbed into hungarian,slovakian, czech or german, as it is a common thing to do in all those countries we´ve been through ( in Denmark that doesnt happen!)

Its almost 6 weeks ago since we started from Zagreb, but it sometimes feels like it was 6 months. the daily impact of impressions has been enormous - everytime we´re on the road, we lose the sense of time pretty quickly - the brain knows about the routine now, and I think it turns down the feeling of time as some sort of " survival instinct". Sitting on a bike so many ours day after day after day.... okay 4 more days ( if the weather is on our side - it looks good right now) and we´ll be in Sönderborg Denmark. Its almost to surrealistic to think about right now. But we´ll be on our way there when this message is posted.

Well what about Köln then?
As mentioned before its hard to keep up the inspiration after visting so many places in a relative short amount of time. Mostly we´ve been concentrating on filling our stomachs as much as possible. Especially on the chinese restaurants, that usually have the big buffets ( eat all you can!) which is just perfect for us.

We´ve been shocked by watching all those homeless and poor people living in the streets and begging for money here, while all the tourists ( like us) just passed by without noticing anything else than shops filled with glitterstuffs or whatever.

But even in our tired situation, we still had the ability to be impressed though.
The giant Cathedral " Kölnerdom" is really amazing, and the cityinvironment around the cathedral, the big and busy central trainstation and its bridge over the river rhine, is nothing but a great pulse. Its like an everchanging stage. So many trains and so many boats and so many (different) people.

Now its time to find Denmark

see you later.
