At the entrance to the Round Tower was a gilded inscription, a rebus. In a combination of pictures and words it beseeched "God, guide the learning and justice in the crowned King Christian the Fourth's heart".
The concrete Milestone that commemorated the location of the old Eastern Gate of the city separated the extension of the same ordinary shops on a street where cars were allowed.
Closer to the center of town there were some people on the move, almost all on bicycles. “Thirty two percent of transportation in Copenhagen is by bikes,” my taxi driver said. It was flat here.
From my hotel on the edge of downtown, I strolled to the City Hall. Next to it, on the main street, there were green apples on the trees. A sculpture of Hans Christian Andersen showed him seated, holding a book of his fairy tales half open, and curiously looking up to the sky.
There was water everywhere. Denmark has 5000 miles of coastline, the guidebooks said. Canals connected the inland areas in Copenhagen.
We drove to Copenhagen on nearly empty roads. Beyond the shoulders of the road was green parkland, and beaches beckoned not far away.
