COPENHAGEN, DONE & DUSTED

On our way to Estonia in a couple of hours. Spent some time in town last couple of days. What did we learn - Danes used to be the happiest people in the world, the military are really sloppy, on guard at the palace shuffling around holding their rifles with arms folded in front of them, with bearskins on too. Tax is horrendous here, 160% on cars, 40% on income over £6000pa, VAT 25%. No one lives here, 5 million in whole country, weather dreadful - 0 degC for winter, rains 178 days a year. Grub still good, just off to afternoon tea & cakes as we set sail.
