love big buses. Well, long buses actually.
So those kind people at East Lancs coachbuilders in Blackburn have
supplied two batches of Volvo B7TLs to Copenhagen
(below). First Glasgow in the UK also have a batch
(right) which are reminiscent in ride quality of MCW
Metropolitans. Despite having room for two football
pitches on the upper deck, the lower deck is rather cramped with no
seat intentionally facing forwards. The enormous and hot
engine can also be a bit overwhelming. A bit of Hong
Kong comes to Europe. |

Salt
Restaurant, Copenhagen
Located on the quayside, Salt Restaurant is
part of the impressive Admiral Hotel, serving modern seafood dishes
in a slightly formal atmosphere. Away from the hustle
and bustle of Nyhavn.
