Otto Frello (April 6, 1924 - 2015) was a Danish artist who began his career as an illustrator of non-fiction works and encyclopedias. At age 50 he decided he was done and started painting fantastic, surrealist scenes from Copenhagen and other urban and landscape settings, all with more than a twist of magical realism.

Frello was from Varde and many of his works are now housed in a museum there that carries his name.

Monday 11 November 2002 - daytime stroll in Copenhagen before returning to Germany - windmill sightings - the night train to Switzerland

11 November 2002

EN   Hi everyone.  Twenty years ago today, I took the night train to Zürich, Switzerland, through Bremen and Baden in Aargau.  I had to take a 9:30 AM train from Copenhagen to Hamburg and have a layover for a few hours to see whatever I did not see on the 8th and 9th.  When I boarded the train about 8 PM in Hamburg Hbf, I had a nice first class compartment to myself.

DE   Hallo allerseits. Heute vor 20 Jahren bin ich mit dem Nachtzug über Bremen und Baden im Aargau nach Zürich in die Schweiz gefahren. Ich musste einen Zug um 9:30 Uhr von Kopenhagen nach Hamburg nehmen und ein paar Stunden zwischenhalten, um zu sehen, was ich am 8. und 9. nicht gesehen habe. Als ich gegen 20 Uhr in Hamburg Hbf in den Zug einstieg, hatte ich ein schönes Erste-Klasse-Abteil für mich allein.

DK   Hej allesammen. For 20 år siden i dag tog jeg nattoget til Zürich, Schweiz, gennem Bremen og Baden i Aargau. Jeg var nødt til at tage et 9.30-tog fra København til Hamborg og have en pause i et par timer for at se, hvad jeg ikke så den 8. og 9. Da jeg gik ombord på toget ved 20-tiden i Hamburg Hbf, havde jeg en fin førsteklasses kupé for mig selv.

SE   Hej allihopa. För tjugo år sedan idag tog jag nattåget till Zürich, Schweiz, genom Bremen och Baden i Aargau. Jag var tvungen att ta ett 9:30-tåg från Köpenhamn till Hamburg och ha en paus i några timmar för att se det jag inte såg den 8:e och 9:e. När jag gick ombord på tåget vid 20-tiden i Hamburg Hbf hade jag en fin förstaklasskupé för mig själv.

FR   Salut tout le monde. Il y a vingt ans jour pour jour, je prenais le train de nuit pour Zürich, en Suisse, en passant par Brême et Baden en Argovie. J'ai dû prendre un train à 9h30 de Copenhague à Hambourg et faire une escale de quelques heures pour voir tout ce que je n'ai pas vu les 8 et 9. Lorsque je suis monté à bord du train vers 20 heures à Hamburg Hbf, j'avais un joli compartiment de première classe pour moi tout seul.

Guten Morgen!  Good morning!  God morgen! It was Monday 11th November 2002, and I had to go back to Germany and then on to Switzerland for my second part of the November 2002 journey.  I woke up about 7 AM, decided not to have breakfast at the hostel, took a shower and checked out.  I took the metro to Nørreport and the S-Tog to København H.  I left my wheeled bag in a locker.  I was able to find some place selling pastries and coffee.  I wanted to also see Tivoli Gardens, or whatever I could, and have a daytime view of Rådehus, Rundetaarn and a part of the Kongens Nytorv and Rosenborg Slot, or Rosenborg castle.    

After I saw the Rådehus, Rundetaarn, Kongens Nytorv and Rosenborg Slot, I took the S-Tog to Svanemöllen.  There was not much to see, I just wanted to ride the S-Tog as far as I could.  I went back to København H and did a little more shopping.  I managed to buy some CDs, "Da Capo" by Ace of Base and "Another Chance" by Roger Sanchez.  The prices were a bit more reasonable, about $22.00 per CD as opposed to $30.00 in Sweden.  After putting those in my green backpack, I went to collect my wheeled bag, and boarded the IC3 diesel train to Hamburg Hbf.  

The train left about 9:30 AM for Høje Taastrup, Rødby Færge, Puttgarden, Lübeck Hbf and Hamburg Hbf.  The weather was kind of chilly, maybe in the mid 40s, about +7 C, sometimes with rain.  Along the way, I saw several windmills.  The train was at Rødby Færge about 10:30 AM and rolled on to the ferry after dropping off passengers.  About 10:45 AM the ferry departed for Puttgarden.  It took around 45 minutes to cross the Femer Bælt, which to me, seemed like a part of the Baltic Sea.  The Duty Free shops were open around 11 AM until 11:20 AM.  The train rolled off the ferry around 11:35 AM and stopped to pick up passengers at the Puttgarden rail station right outside the ferry terminal.  Until we reached Lübeck, the train would be relatively slow, probably the train might not arrive in Lübeck until 12:15 PM.

The train arrived in Hamburg around 12:45 PM.  Everyone departed the train, and the cleaning crew got to work, before the next departure to Copenhagen about 1 PM.  I on the other hand, took my wheeled bag and placed it in a locker.  Then I had some time to do a little sightseeing of Hamburg until about sunset.  I walked along the Reeperbahn and then near Rathaus and Dammtor.  About 4:30 PM, the sun was about to set, so I went back to Hbf.  The train would not leave until 8 PM, so I took an S Bahn to Harburg, which is the furthest south station in Hamburg before crossing the Ländergrenze into Lower Saxony.  I explored there for about half an hour, and bought myself a hamburger without cheese, at a snack bar in the station, to prove that I actually ate a hamburger in Hamburg.  I went back to the train platform for Hamburg Hbf, and I saw this youth that was either drunk or under the influence of some hard drug, sleeping on the stairs.  The police were on scene and had nudged the man to see if he were still alive.  My train to Hbf came in time so I did not have to continue watching.

At Hbf, I bought some reading materials, before collecting my wheeled bag.  It was about 7:45 PM when I went to the platform and car where I would sleep for the next twelve hours.  The train that I booked the first class cabin, was a EuroNight train.  My compartment had two beds but the top one was not booked.  I had a sink in the compartent but was asked not to drink the water, for that reason, they gave me a bottle of water free of charge.  The bathrooms were down the hall.  About 7 AM they would serve me breakfast.  The train staff took my passport for the evening, and they would give it back at breakfast time, prior to arriving at Baden AG.  

The train left at 8:05 PM.  Its first stop was Bremen Hbf, southwest of Hamburg.  I had never been to Bremen, and the stop was so far my only visit up to November 2022, though I plan to visit it in February 2023.  Bremen is, like Hamburg, a Hanseatic city-state.  Berlin, to some degree, is its own city state within the Bundesland of Brandenburg.  About 8:45 PM, the train left Bremen to head south.  About 9 PM I went to sleep, waking up on occasion to go to the bathroom.  Sleeping in a moving train has its merits and faults.  One of the concerns is the feeling of moving laterally in the compartment bed.  The train did not stop in Hannover or really anywhere else in Germany, except Basel Badischer Bahnhof.  Then it crossed into Switzerland, but that will be for tomorrow.

Please join me again tomorrow, for when I arrive in Zürich HB, and then take the train to Bern and also to Frauenfeld in Thurgau and back.  

Gute Nacht!  Good night!  Godnat!

[misshoneyimhome]

Copenhagen, a 3.5-hour drive from Herning, known as the city of bikes. Strolling down Nyhavn, where Freddie would spoil you, showering you with love and small gifts. Enjoying the sunshine and taking a kanalrundfart (boat sail in the canals). You'd stay at either Nyhavn 71, a luxurious yet cosy hotel right on the harbour of Nyhavn, or Copenhagen Island. Perhaps even D’Angleterre if it's a special anniversary (located at the centre of Kongens Nytorv / King’s New Harbour).

Indulging in wine, champagne, and Danish beer (Carlsberg) on sunny days, but also embracing rainy days. Freddie would give you his coat when you're freezing, always eager to protect you. Walking down Strøget, and occasionally exploring the side streets for a cosier, less touristy experience. Navigating the bustling bike lanes, with Freddie trying to shield you from the traffic.

Relishing in coffee shops, shopping at Illum and Magasin, and leisurely strolls through Tivoli. Capturing silly photos together, sharing loads of kisses, and holding hands. Passing by the Queen's castle and the Marble Church, taking photos by the water's edge. Biking around the city, Freddie sharing his cherished childhood stories of growing up in Denmark.

Watching sunsets by the water, enjoying evening walks, and listening to live music by the harbour. Sharing desserts and giggling at Freddie's cheesy jokes and compliments. The romantic and intense moments culminating in intimate closeness.

Throughout it all, Freddie exudes love and care, creating an atmosphere where love seems to fill the air.

Henrik Plenge Jakobsen Smashed Parking

Jes Brinch and Henrik Plenge Jakobsen Wonderful Copenhagen, Temporary public art project, Kongens Nytorv, Copenhagen, Denmark, 1994 Cars, city bus, caravan 2000 x 1000 x 300 cm Photo: Dorthe Krogh Note: The work was made for a summer festival for art in public spaces in 1994 called Art in the City and arranged by the Municipality of Copenhagen and the tourist organisation Wonderful Copenhagen. The work consisted of 18 cars, one caravan, and a public bus placed on Kongens Nytorv, which is traditionally considered to be Copenhagen's most beautiful square because of its classical architecture – the Royal Theatre and the Royal Danish Academy of Art. The exhibition was scheduled to run for three months but it was only on display for four days, from June 15 to June 21. The work was placed on a parking lot in front of Hotel D´Angleterre, a former parking area that had been recreated especially for this event. The work was meant to give the impression that a mad crowd had gone berserk and smashed a public parking lot. Therefore the cars had been worked over with heavy steel tubes. One of the cars had been pushed over onto its side, another was turned upside down, others were still standing on all four wheels. The work included a caravan that had been totally destroyed. The most conspicuous element of the project was the city bus, number 31, which was sited to give the impression that it had been dragged from the nearest bus stop, and overturned during the riot.

Nyhavn is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour front just south of the Royal Playhouse, it is lined by brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants.

Will be traveling to Stockholm(from US) during the week of Christmas till New Years and have plans to travel to Copenhagen and Malmo. Do you have any recommendations for places to visit and things to do? Thank you 🙏

Ooh love that! I do have a few a little more for Copenhagen than Malmö though

Malmö:

- They have a nice shopping street with a lot of different stores

- Maybe a bit cold but right by the library is Pildammsparken, which is a big and nice park.

- If you arrive by train I recommend getting off at Triangln instead of the central station as that’s a bit more in the city

Copenhagen:

- Glyptoteket: A nice art museum with even nicer architecture (it’s free on Tuesdays)

- Statens Museum for Kunst: Our national art museum, really worth a visit too

- Tivoli Gardens: One of the oldest amusement parks in the world and it’s super beautiful and cosy with its christmas decorations.

- Københavns Bymuseum: A cool museum about Copenhagen

- Rosenborg slot: A beautiful castle in the middle of a Kongens Have right in the center of Copenhagen.

- Walking around near Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn is nice too and going on one of the channel tours

Outside Copenhagen:

Not sure how long you’re staying but I highly recommend taking a train to other cities

- Helsingør: super beautiful and old town. The castle Kronborg is there as well as a cool museum about danish sailing traditions. Such a nice and cosy town

- Roskilde: The old capital of Denmark, filled with loads of history as well. I recommend visiting the cathedral

Hope this helps, please do send another anon or a dm if you need help or have questions about anything! Have the best timee

Copenhagen - Initial Thoughts Day 1&2

Well, we've officially been in Copenhagen for two days now! Yesterday we took an early morning flight from Keflavik to Copenhagen, which was about two and a half hours, and while we were waiting in line to board the plane, we actually ran into our classmate Clarissa! So since then, we've been spending time together. Once we got to the Copenhagen airport, we had to wait for the longest I've ever waited for my checked-in luggage- and it made me wonder if it was going to be symbolic of the rest of our time in Copenhagen. But, so far it's been fine since then. We somehow managed despite our sleep deprivation to take the M1 metro line to the Kongens Nytorv stop. After wandering for a short while, we made our way to our hostel and checked in.

After some rest time, I took a shower and felt like a new person. The hostel seems decently clean, and in comparison to the Airbnb's shower (which neither of us even tried to use), the condition of the shower is wonderful. We then wandered out to find an evening meal and ended up going to a bagel and salad shop, where I got a salad, and Ann and Clarissa got bagel sandwiches. We took our meals over to Kongens Have park, which is a massive royal park that is popular with locals, and found a nice spot in the sun to sit. People were out in droves, and we were able to start observations in earnest about the people and their lifestyles.

One of our first observations was the sheer amount of young children. In comparison to the US, there were strollers and parents everywhere. Apparently, during the pandemic, Denmark had a baby boom of about 8%. Our group thinks this is because the Danish government is more friendly to parents and children with parental leave, attitudes toward work/life balance, social security nets, and universal healthcare. In comparison, according to the CDC, "The provisional number of births for the United States in 2020 was (...) down 4% from 2019." (CDC, Births Provisional Data for 2020).

Another observation was that people were actually out in the park, utilizing the green space to its fullest. We assume that this is because of the lack of private green space, such as backyards. This is probably a common occurrence in large cities in the states, but not something I personally have seen in Oregon at that volume.

After our meal, we wandered around the park and eventually made it back out into the streets of Copenhagen. We wandered, making mental notes about the streets, infrastructure, and just generally how people live here. We noticed that the Danish seem to love their flowers, especially roses. People would bike past with cut flowers, and many apartment buildings had roses growing on their sides, or small pots of flowers next to their doorstep. We also noticed how many people would sit out at tables on the sidewalks. There was one group of older folks who had brought out their own small table and made an impromptu place to sit and gossip.

Near the end of that evening, we made our way down to the Nyhavn area, which is a bustling port area, filled to the brim with restaurants and outdoor seating. People from all walks of life were there enjoying the summer evening, some eating, some drinking or smoking, some just taking a walk. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of happiness, to be able to spend time with friends and loved ones on a wonderful warm Saturday night.

Today we spent a bit more leisurely. Our morning was slow, and we each grabbed breakfast at the hostel at our own pace. I had a bread roll, with one half having butter and jam, and the other with cheese and ham. I had several cups of water (it feels nearly impossible to stay hydrated while traveling, and like there are never enough sources of water), and a cup of apple juice to top off before heading back upstairs to prepare for the day.

We ended up grouping up and heading out to Christianshavn via the metro, to where Freetown Christiania sits. On our way, we found a crosswalk light for a pedestrian crossing that showed a time amount until the light would turn. I think this is a good design in some ways, and not necessarily in others. Good in that it can help give some impatient people something to quantify their waiting, and bad in that for other people, it might encourage not wanting to wait that amount of time. I guess it comes back to whether or not the phrase "ignorance is bliss" is entirely accurate or not.

Anyways, there is supposedly a very good thrifting scene in this area, so we wandered until we came to the center of the area. Murals and other pieces of art are everywhere, tucked among the beautiful greenery. There is a lake with a forested area that has hiking trails throughout, a co-op refurbishing shop for home improvement supplies, a gardening shop, and we even found a horse stable with several horses. In the forested area, we found a set of wooden stairs that had a ramp for walking a bicycle up or down it. That has been a very common occurrence I've seen on stairs here, such as in Kongens Have. Another thing we saw in Christiania aside from the beautiful art and greenery was a street where cobblestones had been covered with asphalt. I wonder how it is decided when cobblestones need to be covered as opposed to just fixed - at what point is that decision made?

Freetown Christiania is apparently a commune established in 1971 and is run through a collective agreement process. It appears this commune-styled living has been a thorn in the side of the Danish government for some time due to the illegal but open buying and selling of weed, as well as the illegal occupation of the former military land. However, I personally think there are a lot of positive aspects to the concept of communal living, such as the social security nets formed so that people are not able to fall through the cracks, the general sharing of the human experience, the sharing of resources, and the positive atmosphere for self-expression through the arts. Our roommate at the hostel is currently the owner of a home in Sweden where she lives with her husband and several others in a commune-styled setup. It appears this way of living may be a good way to combat the rising cost of living in society and may tie back to our roots as prehistoric humans to live in small tight-knit groups that depend on each other for survival. I personally would not be against this style of living for myself if done correctly.

We wandered away from Freetown Christiania and made our way through the campus of the Royal Danish Academy, which was interesting to see as a current college student. Eventually, we walked back through Nyhavn to the area where our hostel is, and we grabbed some chai and sat outside of a cafe to soak in the Sunday traffic flows. We watched the interactions between pedestrians, bicyclists, and cars. Bicyclists take priority as they are the fastest moving, followed by the right of way of pedestrians, and cars take last place. They must navigate their way slowly through the movement. In the US, this would not currently work. Bicyclists must be very cautious of the movement of cars, as cars have the apparent right of way.

After finishing our drinks we went to Netto in search of cheap food and snacks. Netto is a small bodega-type grocery store chain that is spread throughout Copenhagen. We bought beautiful-looking danish strawberries, small smoothie drinks made entirely of fruits without any additives, and some other misc. items. Eating has been the hardest part of traveling so far for me, as it is something I have enjoyed in my own personal life being in control of. I love to cook, and I'm often in charge of dinners at my house, so I am not used to the uncertainty of not knowing where or what my next meal will be, or what may be in it. This uncertainty has been a struggle for me, and I wish I had access to a small kitchenette. However, I think I have been good at making an honest effort at eating affordable, healthy options when given the choice.

Our small grocery run finished, we went back to our hostel to relax and recharge after a full day of exploration. We stayed in our room for a few hours, and I personally laid in bed and worked on a blog post while listening to music. Once we all started to feel hungry around 4:30, we decided on where we'd go for dinner - which ended up being a marketplace called Torvehallerne. It was a 13-minute walk from our hostel, so we went there.

Around the time we had decided to go to Torvehallerne, Giselle posted in our Slack channel that she had arrived at the hostel. We invited her out to dinner with us and met her there. Torvehallerne is a huge enclosed marketplace with food vendors as well as grocery items such as fresh cheese, bread, meat, and seafood. It was very busy, with many different options, so we broke up and wandered around to find our own dinners of choice. I ended up getting a bibimbap bowl with bulgogi beef, cabbage, greens, brown rice, and (to my extreme disappointment) no kimchi, Ann got a salad, Clarissa a burger, and Giselle a small quiche. We chatted and learned a bit more about each other while we ate, and then wandered leisurely back to the hostel, nerding out about aspects of the urban environment as we moved through it. We discussed the curved pedestrian-only streets, the accessibility features built into the sidewalks for sight-impaired people, and many other things.

It is genuinely fun to be able to talk to people who see the world through a similar lens as yourself about something you are passionate about, and I am looking forward to continuing exploring cities throughout this trip with other equally excited nerds.
