First day in Denmark

Well it's my first morning in Copenhagen, Denmark. I'm spending a week traveling and camping by bike, then another week at a conference for my master's thesis. I brought my folding bike and I have to say that Denmark is the most incredibly cycle-friendly country I've ever seen. There are so many people on bike (first time I've had to ride in bicycle traffic) and every major road has a dedicated cycle lane and intersection lights. It's much more convenient than taking public transportation and backpacking (which has been my staple for travel transportation).

Today I'm headed to see Helsingor (Elsinor from Hamlet) and the north part of this island. I'm slowly making my way by bike and ferry westward across several islands to the mainland where my conference starts on Sunday.
