After leaving Kiel to head back to Denmark, my last stop (I'd fly back home, The Driver would drive alone to Finland through Sweden) the weather was the most beautiful it has been on this trip. We stopped at the Kiel Canal for some photos and mentally prepared how would Denmark rob us this time. And we would not be disappointed.
If we got shitty expensive accommodation for expensive price on our way to Germany in Copenhagen, we definitely got assfucked on our way back in Copenhagen. We chose the Danhostel that was the cheapest available place to stay in Copenhagen. Booking.com said the price is 60 euros. After being forced to buy the linens, towels and a “Fuck you-tourist-card” that you have to have if you're not part of the Danish “Fuck-you-tourist-club” at check-in my card was charged 96 euros with “free” parking. The shitty Cabinn Metro was about 99 with parking. But the hostel room is much hotter, stinkier and more cramped (with bigger toilet though, but no soap in the toilet) and hasn't got even a television let alone radio. I mean how much does a bar of cheapest soap cost?! Cheez. Internet is in the lobby and would cost 2 euros per 30 mins. Oh and we needed to check in before 5pm and have to leave before 10 am.
The city doesn't accept credit cards even in bigger grocery stores or expensive restaurants and everything costs an arm and leg. For example the 24 hour public transport ticket you have to buy all the 8 zones, when in most cases you'd only need a card to cover 2 zones, the entrance only to Tivoli was like 15 euros, and the Little Mermaid is little as the name indicates. Food costs a lot, basic bad tasting pizza at a restaurant that doesn't accept credit cards can fetch near 15 euros easily. I am sure that the bridge toll money between Sweden and Denmark, all the money goes to the Danes.
A Finnish javelin throwing athletic hero, Seppo Räty once said famously “Germany is a shit land”, I am pretty sure he never visited Denmark or then his comment was so vulgar it was never publicized. I do officially feel like I was robbed today at check in. I've never seen anybody charge me more and more like that with a straight face. I call that state organized con.
If I ever get children I will never ever take them to see the Legoland or Tivoli. We won't honeymoon in Denmark for sure. Also if I can choose I will perosnally never ever visit Denmark again, business nor leisure. I will choose flights that won't have transfer in Copenhagen. I will never ever give this country another cent of my hard earned money. Also I will beat you up if you claim that Copenhagen is a cool city to visit.
I will not post any pictures for today, I am way too pissed off.
Auf nie immersehen Denmark, and fuck you.
PS. Stay Tuned for a new trip in this blog, I'll be heading to New Mexico, USA in few days.
